is it possible to adjust our stock suspension to eliminate the factory negative camber wear? it sucks having to buy 1 tire because my steel cords are showing, but still have 5/32 tread left.
The reason is under the braking, the stock bushings deflect to too much which causes the excessive inner wear. This is where the ones from FIGS could resolve this.
How long (# of miles) have you been on those tires since the spring install?
After the alignment, what are your toe and camber settings?
What tires do you have?
Ive had the tires for about 15000 miles
I don't remember the mileage when I installed them, but its been about 6 months
my tires are the OEM bridgestone turanzas
You CAN have the tires dismounted off the wheels and re-mounted onto the opposite sides...but only if the tire's tread pattern allows for it.
By the way, it is the fronts huh? The 2IS model tends to have a natural, agressive front camber/toe setting from the factory. Some say, tire-dependent, 15k miles is actually normal.
More than likely the tire wear is coming from the toe and not really the camber, but of course go have it checked and have them zero in the toe.
I just bought new tires, gonna have an alignment done either Friday or Saturday.

yeah, the fronts were bad. rear actually isn't bad at all. I replaced all 4 tires today anyways just so I could have the same "grip" front and rear.

I bought some Bridgestone Potenza S-04's today. Looks like ill be cross rotating my front wheels or maybe all my wheels to see what happens.
