Lowered with Staggered Wheels and tires.
Is it normal for the the tires to wear prematurely? I'm getting camber wear like crazy and that's with an alignment job already done. I have the F sport lowering springs on which is not to crazy of a drop probably an inch or so. Do I have a bigger problem? Had to replace the tires today because of the bad camber wear.

Well give us your wheel specs. Size, offset?
Did they set the camber and toe? Toe is much more important than camber.
It is normal to have above average tire wear with anything other than oem. It all depends on how dramatic that wear will be on multiple factors.

I have the 19" F Sport accessory wheels. They are 19x8 +40 in the front and 19x9 +40 in the rear. I have the alignment sheet somewhere in my glove box somewhere. I will take a look at it.

Took it to the Stealer and got new Michelin Pilot sport AS3 along with an alignment. I for got to the pictures of the wear on the Continental extreme DWS. I hope everying is all good now because I can't afford to blow $1200 on new tires that quickly. On a side note I really love these tires. They are quite and smooth. It even have curb guard.

I have the same setup. F sport springs, shocks, and sways. Alignment shop did the best they could because camber can't be adjusted on our cars unless you have after market camber kits. Everything on my car was within spec except for front driver side. Specified range is -1.1 to 0.4 to be in spec but mine was -1.4 for camber. Toe is all in spec. Like the others have said Toe is probably the most important especially if you have a mild drop.

Don't bring to the dealer. They aren't experienced with dealing with lowered cars. I would recommend finding a local shop that specializes in alignment for track setups. They would know how to adjust the toe.
