Exclamation Tire with warranty

Can I replace my tires every 6 months under warranty from Discount tire?because my friend told me if I do negative camber, my tires will only last me 6 months is it true? I plan to go -3 or -4 in rear and -1 or -2 on front.

it all depends on the drop you have, how your car is aligned, how much camber you have dialed, and other things... i've had my tires last a long time with my drop..

discount tire probably wouldn't change a tire under warranty due to improper wear.

Every six months? Never heard of such a warranty. And if it does exist, I would imagine that it would take at least a week to read and understand all of the fine print that would come along with it.

My guess is that you would have to buy some sort of alignment package (with the alignment done to the cars original specs) when you purchase your tires that would include a tire wear replacement warranty.

I thought most tire warranties are pro-rated?

Most people get tires and flip them from left to right periodically.

it really all depends on how the car is aligned... im dropped 3 inches on my IS300 and my rear tires lasted me a year before having to be flipped with the rear toe in spec and -3.5 degrees of camber. when they weren't in spec, I had to change out my tires within a few months even with tire flipping

this is all the cost of playing. if your not ready to constantly flip tires and buy new tires on a regular basis, i would avoid running any extreme camber that will greatly increase wear.
