Default Wasnt expecting tires so soon only 4k miles

So i only got 4,000 miles on my rear tires. I do have SPC rear camber arms at 4 degrees negative. Bought front and rear tires in october 4,000 miles ago. I had bought falkens for original tires this time i bought Toyos they cost 415 with installation for the 2 rear tires. Well see how long these last.

did you have a lot of camber wear? 4 degrees is not a small amount of camber...so I would expect your inside shoulders to wear quite fast.

So let me get this right,

You aligned the rears to -4 camber with camber arms and your tires only lasted 4k? hmmm...

Haha sounds like me. I had -8 in the front on a SC300 and had to replace the front within a month.
I was sitting there wondering why I had to replace the fronts so quickly on a RWD car..
