The car is all standard so does roll a bit. I've set the camber to fall negative and I'm still wearing the outside of the tyre! I've not long had the tyres (toyo t1r's) and I don't see them lasting as long as they should.
Is there a way to get more camber, smaller bolts maybe? or is it time to get low :laugh:

It'll be the toe thats causing that wearing on the outside i think.
-
not if it's set to negative camber. the inside would wear quick, surely?

Yeah, but i swear someone has told me in the past toe will cause this too. I could be wrong but may be worth having full alignment check.

Camber doesn't kill tyres quick, toe does.
You get a slight bit more wear with camber, but it's the toe that really f**ks 'em.

Well I'm not really sure on that, so yeah I think I will get it checked. you could be right.
Cheers for that, I would of never of thought of toe.

cool thanks dude. Defo getting the toe checked now.

Toe in gives outer wear. Toe out gives inner wear.

Say again? :laugh:
Surely, toe gives outer wear, camber gives inner wear?

This all depends on a number of factors. Toe in vs Toe out and the actual camber setting. Get your alignment checked.

getting it checked next weekend with all belts changed and oil :smiley:
