Burned through new tires in 1 month

Hi All,

A month and a half ago i had the following installed by a shop: Coil overs, spc camber kit, new tires. My mechanic had the tires mounted and balanced and supposedly they did 4 wheel alignment.

Now all the tread on my rear tires have no tread. My mechanic swears that its most likely the guys who did the alignment but he took it back to them and they found nothing wrong.

Does anyone have another ideas how i ran through my tires so fast?

The air pressure in the tires is fine, I haven't done any burn outs and i haven't checked any bushings =/

I'm not very low at all probably about 6 inches off the ground but i'm not sure. i'll measure later

What tires did you get installed? This is hard to believe that you those tires are THAT worn out in one month.

Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 XL

I had the same tires on for two years with negative camber so i was surprised that these tires wore after a month.

Id cause hell up in the shop but first try it politely. New tires like that in 1 month, somebody did not do there job right.

Are the tires cupped at all? If so, I would lean towards toe. If not, I would lean towards camber.
