Ok so I have gone through 2 sets of tires where the inner tire has worn prematurely even after multiple alignments. I am lowered with Hotchkis and just bought some front camber arms that I will be installing this weekend and then immediately will be taking the car for an alignment.

What should I tell the dealer as far as my alignment goes? Should I tell them to set my camber at 0.00 to avoid any tire wear and have my tire ride completely flat to the road. What about toe?

 

whats more important, tire wear or performance?

Zero camber isn't necessarily better for wear unless all you do is straight line driving.

Toe is what kills tires, not camber.

 

Probably performance.

 

Camber and Toe have been given bad names around here. Like they are the boogyman of my350Z.com.

Toe-in enhances straight line stability. What a frightening experience at 100 MPH? Try toe out or zero toe.


Zero camber would be OK except in a turn. Look at the outside rear tire. The lateral force of the car moves the bottom of the tire "in:" the outside of the tire is touching the ground. The inside is not. Begin with zero tow and the situation is worse.
