Negative Camber Killed My Front Tires..

[Ryan86]

I always read on here that you can run up to -2.0 camber if your toe and caster are good... I had -1.4 and -1.9 in the front, so I didn't think I'd need a camber kit.

Ehh, whoops.

<10,000 miles...new tire time. Is my car just a freak?

Looks like toe wear to me.

You cut off the date.

Got the alignment done after I installed the prokits... about a year ago. Put on the Kumho ASX's a couple months afterwards.

New rims and tires next week... 18" Enkie EVO5's wrapped in Kumho SPT's. Goin with a camber kit this time

I'd get another alingment done.

Looks like toe to me as well, I had a set of Azeni's end up like that due to my not noticing !

Damn...I never knew a car can mis-align itself that much in 13,000 miles... :-\

Should I get a camber kit anyways even after I get it realigned after the new wheels and tires?

The need for alignment is more event related than time related. Events being curbs and potholes.

Optimize your camber based on your driving style. Your amount of negative camber should not significantly affect tread life.
