My tires are bald after not too many miles... Boo Is anyone experiencing negative camber to the point of uneven wear like this? I'm on stock springs with Vossens (don't remember the offset).
I'm looking at continental Extreme Contact DWS 06. Anyone have experience with them? They have excellent reviews so I'm thinking about trying them out.

Yes but I'm lowered so that is odd that you ended up like that. Have you gotten an alignment.

I'm experiencing similar issues. My vossen wheels and tires are still fairly new to tell how bad they will wear in the coming months. My wheels are 20x9 offset 38 all around. I've had them aligned twice but the shop still hasn't been able to get a prefect alignment done. I'm not lowered either. I'm now wishing that i kept my oem wheels.

I have 21,000 miles on the original factory Bridgestones, with at least half of the tread left, but remember that I also get 26 MPG in town!

Yardie,

I am a new member, but do have experience with the Continental's you mention, specifically the DSW, on one of my previous cars (2001 Acura CL). It came from the factory with Michelin's but they only lasted 30K before I I had to change them.

I bought a set of 4 DSW's based on reviews and had them on the car till I sold it at 68K miles. The tires still had good tread with regular rotations. I drove the Acura spirited and had no issue with wet or dry traction and was able to corner at aggressive speeds without loss of traction. I am also considering buying these when my GS needs a new set, since the Michelins don't seem to last too long.

Although I am in Texas and we have rare to no snow in Houston, the tires performed great. I have a good mix of concrete and asphalt roads where I drive, so the tires got a good workoout.

Keep us posted if you put a set on and how they work.

I did, and the shop said everything was good to go. I'm going to get another one done when I go to in for some new tires.

Thanks mdr! I've seen nothing but great reviews on the web but haven't seen anything about them here on clublexus so I was curious. If my local shop doesn't carry the continentals, I'm going to have to buy them and ship them to the shop, if I can wait that long. Don't want to take the car past 40mph so commuting around is going to be interesting. I wasn't thrilled about the Nittos that I have right now. Want to try something different.

U have some serious camber issue there man and ur on stock suspension so the camber is not adjustable. How many miles do u have on these tires? My rear tires don't look like that but I'm on stock everything. 17K miles and all corners seem to be wearing out evenly, about half tire life left then they'll turn to racing slicks.

I used to have my GS lowered on coils. I used to change rear tires every oil change.

I would recommend getting a rear camber kit

Sevn86

I'm looking into the same thing. Do you know of any kits that you recommend?

I just put the Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires on my GS and so far I like them a lot.

You don't have a camber problem per se, you have a toe problem. The camber just shows where its wearing the most.

I just put a set of Conti DWS06 245/40/19 on my 2013 GSFsport awd. I couldn't be happier, they seem great in all catagories(have not been in snow yet). I can say that they blow away the OE Bridgestones. Mine were not even completely worn but after having them last winter I knew I didn't want them this winter because they were scary. I can fully endorse the DWS06

Nice. I just went with Hankooks that the shop had in stock. They're nice so far. We'll see after they get to like half tread.
