The one with the cords showing is the rear, the front has no cords showing at all.

 

This is with over -2 degree camber

 

wow, that likes like some pretty good wear for over -2. was that a front tire or rear?

 

How many miles with that much camber?

 

anybody wanna take a shot at my question from page 2?

 

new tires and wheels should not affect the camber or toe. but, its always a good idea to get an alignment after you get new tires. what does affect the camber and toe, is when you lower the car. oem specs call for some neg camber in the rear, so even though the car is within alignment specs, you will still see some inside tire wear. if you want to stop that, tell the alignment guy (or gal) to get all of your tires as close to zero as they can, not just simply within spec. get what im saying?

edit: going from -1.4 camber to -0.4 camber or so in the rear will make a big difference

 

thanks for the response, i think you answered all the questions i had.

 

front and rear. I flipped the tires at the right time and got over 15k out of them with a lot of abuse.

 

maybe flipping them is the way to go then cause i like the handling capabilities
at what mileage did you flip?

 

As soon as the very inner part of the tire is worn.
Just make sure the tire that u get is atleast symmetrical.

 

There is no perfect alignment. It depends on how you drive the car a majority of the time. Camber doesn't kill tires. Toe doesn't kill tires. the combination of the two kills tires. Just having either in spec does not guarantee that you will have even wear. BTW, getting withing OEM specs does not mean optimal specs for wear either. OEM specs are set to help avoid warranty issues.

My personal experience is that -1.8F with 0.04 toe in on both sides still leads to premature inner tire wear. I do a lot of highway driving. -1.7R with 0.04 toe in led to almost even tire wear in the rear.

 

Spec from the FSM for an '04 coupe is as follows:

Front:
Camber: Min: -1.25 deg; Nominal: -0.5; Max: 0.25 deg
Total toe: Min: 0mm; Nominal: 1mm; Max: 2mm

Rear:
Camber: Min: -1.75 deg; Nominal: -1.25; Max: -0.75 deg
Total toe: Min: 0mm; Nominal: 2.8mm; Max: 5.6mm
