Camber Wear!!!

When I was huge into stance cars, I would burn through tires every 6 months or so. Over time it obviously got expensive so I went to tire shops and just had them flip the tires to the opposite side... Got a little more life out of them.

BUT IT WAS A STANCE CAR, not something i drove people in everyday or got up to high speeds

I'd hope that a shop could not in good conscience even flip those things!

You could end up like me in the side of the road wih a flat tire off the bead and scrape your wheel. The worst part for me was that I had no spare cause of my sound system and my spare wouldn't fit over my bbk. Had to call someone to bring my spare and my 10mm spacer.
