i have a 06 g coupe 5at with 20 inch stern wheels with toyo prox t1r 275/35 zr20 noticed that the inside of the tires is wearing. The left rear tire has tred on the left side of the tire and almost bald on the right side. The right rear has tred on the right side of the tire and almost bald on the left. On the front right is starting to look like the back tire. The driver side is best tire out of all of them. Both sides are good.

 

my car does the same thing and its been aligned twice and is on stock wheels and falken 452 tires

 

when is the last time your ride has been on a machine?

Drop = camber kit in most cases

 

mine does the odd wear pattern too the driver side tire is about half worn and the rest need replacing especially the right rear

 

our cars are made to have some negative camber. more wear on the insides of the tires is normal. if you're not lowered, you should easily be within factory specs.

 

im on tokico D-spec with eibach lowering springs and a camber kit that was installed with the lowering kit

 

i have a question as well, if i am going to install Tokico D-spec + S - Tech . do i need a camber kit ?? i believe S-Tech springs only drop like 1.5 ' with a factory 19" rims

 

^^honestly, everyone who drops their car should get a camber kit (if their intentions are to save their tires). unless youre dropping it like < 0.5" or something..

 

but i thought it will help if i change the shocks

 

shocks wont help you adjust camber..

 

No one "needs" a camber kit.

But when you lower your car it increases your negative camber so your braking performance is hurt and your tires will wear out faster on the insides.

Everyone who lowers their car should get a camber kit.

 

dont you increase negative camber when lowering the car?

if lowering the car reduces negative camber, i wasted money on my camber kits!

 

LOL

I was typing too fast and didn't read it over before I posted.


You can always do like the drift cars and use camber kits to increase your negative camber! UMS Tuning just did a bunch of work on the K Sport 240SX and it has the most negative camber I have ever seen!! About half of the 255 on the rear was dirty from the ground, the rest was not even touching.

 

if you're dropping a car on z stech and zdspecs would you need camber kits for the front and the rear?
