camber wear

i lowered my car a while ago and i put on a new set of wheels. they came with a some camber wear and my dumbass didnt align my car after lowering it so i made it even worse. now the insides of both rear tires are really bad. the tires are really expensive for a new set so is it possible to rotate the rear wheels and get some more miles out of them or should i just get the new tires.

When you lowered it, it woulda been smart to get a kit to get more $$$ for your tires.

Depending on how bad they are you can flit the tires from side to side (so the worn tread is now on the outside).
And get an alignment, the rear TOE is probably out of spec.

Not necessarily true, some people end up needing camber kits with just h techs. But don't risk your life and others by being too cheap to get new tires. Get the new tires and go get aligned. At least fix the toe, camber isn't as big of a deal as your toe being off.

I already did get it aligned and xet i know the best optiom wpuld be get new tires but u think i can get little more out of the current ones by roatating?

P.s. The insides have 2% left and the outsides have 80% left.

You didn't hear that from me, any time we lower our Infinities you'll need a complete camber kit front/back. In the long run it's cheaper to get the kit than tires once a year, especially quality tires! You could swap those tires so the insides are now the outsides for a few more miles depending on how bad they are....be careful!

How bout the front end? When you get your alignment done ask the tech how far off OE specs your G is and will it cause excessive tire wear. If you're close you may be alright, I wasn't and didn't feature buying tires once a year.
