ok so ive had my 92 on megans for over 3 years now and i have 26,000 miles on my fuzion ZRi 235-40-18 tires. i noticed the other day that my inner part of the tread on every tire is worn more than the outer part,so looking at the tire u dont notice it but bending down and looking its noticeable. so i took it to the alignment shop and they said i have negative camber and i dont have any more adjustment left...is this something i am going to have to live with? or,can something be drilled to make more adjustment or should i raise my car up 1/8-3/16 of an inch to help this...or should i just leave it and be happy with getting 25-30,000 miles out of a set of tires over a 3 and a half year period
btw my next tire im considering is this

thanks in advance for any informative replies

 

As long as your toe is in check then youll just have to live with it. Id say 26k is plenty of mileage for z rated summer tires. If it bothers you that much you can just flip them.

 

yep TOE is the biggest factor in camber wear. and yea just flip them.

 

toe sounds to be in good shape, just flip the tires 2/3rds the way through their wear cycle on one edge and wear the other edge.

 

They have ya covered.
What was the neg camber readings? When it goes past -2, some tires just get eaten.

I've got 37K miles so far on the Yokohama S drives. Flipped them about 6K ago and I say these will get 45-48K miles. Of course my camber is wayy mild to many of you here. -1.5 front and -1.25 rear. (Rounded off)

 

yeah i get WAY less than that...

0'd out toe, -1.8* front and -3.8* rear camber. get ~18-25k from Nitto NT555s (20")

 

thanks guys....u answered my question...i can get another few thousand out of em. ill just live with it

 

here are the specs
camber front:
left:-1.40
right:-1.05
camber rear:
left:-2.08
right:-1.72

 

the car will drive a lot better if you even the camber out across the axle.

 

even if its more towards the negative side? wont that wear the tires even more?

 

if you flipped them like they were saying you should be fine for many more miles, even if they were more toward the neg side. all it would do is move where the wear will show up. say its at -2.5 instead of -1.5 it will get closer and closer to the inner side walls the more neg you are.

 

the less than 1/2 degree difference wont make a huge impact as long as your toe is managed plus then the tires will wear more evenly across the axle and the car will be more predictable when turning.

 

ok..thx for all the info guys much appreciated

 

Uneven camber can make the car pull which puts added stress on the tires. I have -4 degrees out back and I'll get about 12k miles out of them.
