Ok, so I had the Tanabe springs and the adjustable camber arms for a while to correct my camber with the hopes of not wearing through tires so quickly. Ive had alignments and they adjusted them to 0 but I'm still eating through tires in less than a year with the insides going bald and the outer edges virtually brand new. Am i doing something wrong or is this tire wear issue something I will just have to live with and accept?

Is this on all 4 wheels?

I had to replace my rears a year ago, and now my fronts are shot. Inner tire is almost down to the cords w/ clear "chunks" missing. The outside edge looks great. Center hasn't reached the wear marks yet. I just took them off to do the front pads and that's when I noticed. Tires have been regularly rotated and I get an alignment at least 2x's a year. F-sport, RWD w/ Dunlop Sports Maxx. My right tire is worse, but both in bad shape.

I came here just now to try and figure out a different tire for the fronts, and replace the rears in a year or so with the same. At $350 per I wish I'd gone w/ AWD.

How is the toe angle when you get your alignments?
Bad toe kills tires faster than negative camber.

yes, all 4 tires, but rears are worse than the fronts

Fronts usually outlast the rears by 1 set (as I was told). My rears last me a year to year half. I do not have camber arms and I drive spiritedly. Currently running hankook Ventus tires.

mine give me 6-8 months on average and I paid about $500 for the adjustable arms and installation. They seem to be getting me nowhere. Wonder if I should be asking to have the camber set to something other than o

Are you AWD? I installed camber arms on the back too and my rears are are showing camber wear. My fronta have no camber wear on them at all, with wear going evenly across.

correct, toe is worst than camber

Agree with others
correct the toe... it's the biggest culprit
