as some of you might have read my other thread about uneven tire wear,
so busy these days, i cant get the timing right to call my alignment place for the numbers (specs)after aligning my car...

but seriously, nobody here has experience the same problem with their tires?

-1.5 camber all around but yet experiencing more outer wear on the tires...

anybody?

I can't see how that is possible with -1.5 camber.

I got 22k on a car. no alignment done on it got same problem
My inside got more ware then outside. I spoke with a dealer he told me if it would be before 12k then they would change it but now they cant, and he also told me that tires only last bout 25k on a G and that it is normal to get that kind of ware cuz that is how your wheels setup on G. ???

get an alignment and let us know your readings. did your dealer recently
do a left/right right/left tire rotation?

and no, 99% of the people here are getting inner tread wear than outer
including me... well, only on the rear.

then, do you guys think its possible that a combination of my shocks being too firm in the rears and my aggresive driving thru turns is causing the uneven tire wear?

are you driving through tight turns with rear breaking loose all the time?

if so, you could get the shoulder to wear out more...

Alignment is a standard maintenance item that often is required every 7500 [15000 for sure] miles especially after any oem modifications that increase weight stress to correct for suspension bushing wear durometer hardness changes.

Alignment is the missetting of the suspension to compensate for deflections that occur under speedturning load.
Misalignment numbers are derived by factory for brand new vehicles [thus the wide range] to avoid warranty repairs as the component ages..........the midpoint of the range is usually the IDEAL setting at least when things are new!

You are lucky. I wish I had that problem. My tires wear on the inside although I was able to correct it somewhat with the stillen camber and toe adjusters. Have you checked your tire pressure? I have heard that running two low of tire pressure can cause outside edge wear.
