Well, I have to say Carfax sucks. It will not tell you everything about the car. Most minor accidents will not be reported to Carfax. That is why members on this forum dont trust Carfax. Dealers love Carfax because most of the cars have clean title. When it is clean, it means no record of accidents or incidents. But no record does not mean the car has never been involved in accidents. The best way is to bring the car to someone who has experience. But that is a little off the topic. Like I said, driver's weight can cause the left tire to wear out faster than right tire. But I cant see why your front tires wear out unevenly since your car has stock suspension. If you already talked to Tony, and he stated that a camber kit can set your wheels back to normal. Then why dont you go with a camber kit. I know front camber kit is expensive but it can prevent uneven wear or at least it can minimize the problem and save you lots of money that you spend on tires.

Specs:
235/30 ZR20 (front)
275/20 ZR20 (rear)
Toyos T1R 97Y
Car is dropped 1 inch with lowering springs, no camber kits.
Issue:
The rear tires are wearing fast, however toyos lasted me 20K miles so they're decent tires.
Partyman66 said that the earlier coupes did not have the ability of changing camber (mine is 06 5AT with sport supension...)
So does that mean that later coupes you can adjust the camber without buying AM kits?
I'm so negative you can tell right away when you look at the car, possibly -1 degrees.
let me know before I spend 400$ on a kit and 600$ on a pair of rear toyos
Thanks

I thought the tire wear was going to be a huge issue for this car, but premature wear has not reared its ugly head yet. I just passed 29,250 on the odo and my stock RE050A fronts are wearing evenly and have plenty of tread left. My rears were stolen at 13,500 so they have far less miles. I initially presumed I would be lucky to get 25k out of all fours. I almost want the fronts to go so I can replace them with some Hankook Ventus Evos.

I have Toyo T1R treadwear of 280 on my car and the front tires are almost bald. The rears still have half the tread left. I was wondering if I added a camber kit or a toe adjustment kit, will it improve the tread life? I read on a G35 forum this quote
"Bottom line, if you're worried about premature wear and tear on the tires, get toe adjustment kits. If you can't live with uneven wear, then get camber kits."
Thanks any help is appreciated.
*PS-I am thinking about getting Michellin A/S Plus which have treadwear of 500 and a 4 year warranty. Does any one recommend this or is this a bad tire?
