Be careful saying that. My wife drives like Miss Daisy with me in the car. When she's alone, she drives totally differently. Way more aggressive.
And yes, wider rims and tires are more impacted by improper toe.

well it looks like even the stock wheels and tires are wearing badly on the inside edge in the front and rear,how far off are the specs I have posted compared to what you guys are using here.. Will setting the toe to 0.06 alone help correct this issue?

The problem is the rear toe, theres plenty of toe adjustment. But since the camber isnt adjustable it wouldn't allow proper toe to be set, is what the alignment guy first told me.
BTW I would take your car to a shop that has the latest Hunter alignment machine.

I don't get inner tire wear!
This is my setup:
Running 9.5" rear wheels wrapped with 275/30/19's and lowered on coil overs. I don't have my clignment sheet with me, but I can get that if you want!
Note: Maybe it's the constant extra passenger weight at the rear? Just guessing...

Interested in what you find out. I'm running 10.5 in the rear as well and having the same problem. Overall, the tires has lasted me about 2 years (26k miles) so I can't complain much at all, but the inside edge was tore up BIG TIME and rest of the tire just fine.
My car is lowered a bit (F-Sport Springs) so I can't completely fix it. Just put a new set of rears on now and just going to unmount/remount tires on other wheel to get more unused tread out of them.
I'm having the same issue on the front tires as well, but with the car lowered I've been told to expect and deal with it.

i dont think the f sport springs make that big a diff in the cars camber,alot of these cars tend to wear tires on the inside edges way worse than some others.I dont think its totally a camber issue,its more toe than anything else.I had them take all the toe out of the front and most outa the back.We will see how much longer the tires last.I switched back to the stock wheels and tires,and they were wearing out on the inside edge badly as well.So its not just a wider wheel issue.
I dont really like the way the car drives much now,it feels like as your turning the car,even on slower right angle turns,the car doesnt wana enter the turn smoothly and then when it does it feels like it kinda jerks into the corner a bit..The wife isnt very sensitive to driving feeling though..she drives it mostly

0.06 toe
Did you pay someone to do this to your car? Looks like an alignment monkey did the work, not someone with skill and understanding of what all the numbers mean. The rear toe should be at 0.06 on both sides - minimum spec - specifically to reduce inside edge wear. It's what I had to do to my Supra in '97 after I burned through a set of rears in 6k miles with the factory specified 3mm toe in, and it's worked on every car I've owned since.
Do you still suggest 0.06 rear toe setting on both sides? Or is that something a great alignment shop determines?
Thanks for your input.
