So my front tires had been cambered to a negative 3 and my tires wore out quick as hell. So i switched out with tires with about 95% tread and cambered them normal like completly on the ground straight and its been about 2 weeks at the most and i have basically no tread left i cant find any place that they are rubbing or anything and these arent crappy tires they are kuhmos. What could be causing this???

Kumho is pretty crappy..







But, sounds like you need to look at your TOE, not camber. =]

Did you correct the toe on the car when you adjusted your ride height?

**edit: damn, elvis was quicker on this one. lol.**

toe is the in which your tires face inwards and outwards like if you were looking at your tires from an aerial view you' want them to be like this: | |-----| | not: / /-----\ \

Yea i know man it killed my tires. So once i get them aligned if i adjust the camber or coilovers is this going to affect that and am i gonna have to get it aligned again

I get an alignment twice a year. once when i'm slammed during summer & fall then another alignment when I switch over to winter & spring height.
