Either akdash1 misunderstands what we are saying or he doesn't express his position correctly. What was posted above is absolutely correct.

I misunderstood. I just found it surprising that the closest to neutral that the adjusters allow is still so aggressive. That, combined with the fact that I didn't read it very carefully, I thought you may have got some numbers mixed up.

I had this problem when I had my stockies on. The tire wear was uneven on the inner barrel. So the goal to get rid of this is changing camber to -0.9 to the front or rear? I'm confuse on that part

If the wear occurs on the inside edge of the tires, the problem is a result of having any toe angle. Reducing the camber will reduce toe wear , but if won't fix the problem. Best to go with a neutral toe.

Default how to fix SC430 tire issue

Seen the messages. How do I fix the excessive tire wear on my 2005 sc430?

1. can the negative camber be removed? If yes, how? set it to neutral, positive or less negative? I am a regular driver - not a racer.
2. if the negative camber cannot be adjusted: what tire brand and specs to get? I now have Dunlop run flats p245/40rf18 93v.

thanks,
