Front tires slipping
I bought my 2004 rx8 a few months ago, and had to get my rear two tires replaced because they were bald from the previous owner. I don't really have the money to replace all four, so I chose to replace the back two. I had them replaced with the same tires as the front (the front two are fairly worn, 40% tread) and immediately after, whenever I took a corner with any speed the front two tires would slide out. I took it back to the tire shop after a few days of this and they showed me my front tires were wearing uneven (nearly bald on the inside) so i took it to get an alignment. It handles a little better but whenever i take corners with moderate speed they continue to slide out, which they never did before I replaced the rear two tires. Is this happening because of the inside wear and not because of the alignment? My biggest issue is I don't understand why replacing the back two would cause such a sudden change in the drive and such a fast wear on the front tires if they are the exact same tire, just a little more tread, and why it continues to do this after an alignment. Any help would be appreciated.
