Hi all.
I recently had to replace my front tires. It seems that after 22,000 miles they went bald. What concerned me was the uneven wear across the tread. The inner was a lot more worn, almost like I have a camber issue. I am NOT lowered at this time.
When I was talking to the tire tech he said that his assumption is there's a mechanical problem with the suspension and its not the tire at fault (I can't deny it, but I don't abuse my tires either). Now that I know this I notice that when my car is sitting on the ground, it does look like my tire has a slight camber.
Can this be fixed with an alignment/adjustment. I have recently had ball joints/tie rods/cv joints done. My car has also developed a nasty vibration on acceleration. The tire tech said I might be on dead sturts, but my car doesn't seem to sit any lower than it is.
My concern is that I have a set of Neuspeed Sport Springs (1.7/1.5) and KYB AGX struts to go on soon, I was planning on getting a full alignment at that point. However, if I'm already showing signs of camber wear does that mean that when I lower the car I will have even more severe camber wear? I was thinking about not doing a camber kit with these springs because people I talk to that have this setup have run no camber kit and 17's without any dangerous tire wear.
I just put on a new set of front tires, and I'm thinking about upgrading to a nice set of 17's in the future, and I don't want to blow through tires. Does anyone have any suggestions, or am I going to need to invest in a camber kit when I put the springs on?
