Do I need camber adjustment or what?
Here is the deal. I just replaced my rears. they were fried at 13000 miles. My fronts looked okay but yesterday I checked out the inside fronts. The inside fronts are bald while the outsides have about a quarter tread left.
Keep in mind I drive like a maniac and my commute has lots of twisties. Look at this pic and tell me this; After 14000 miles of really aggressive driving (no track but it might as well have been) is this wear a product of my driving or poor camber settings?
I would appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Take it to your dealer and have him check both camber and toe. My front OEM tires were replaced. In conjunction with that my dealer performed allignment. While the camber was perfect, my toe was extremely bad. Nissan Master Tech. said "you are plowing asphalt". You might have had "feathering / cupping" without knowing and now your tires are bald.

on stock suspension you cant adjust camber. only toe.. same with nismo s-tune.
If you want to change your camber there really isnt much you can do rite now. We have Upper Control Arms that we are about to put out that have adjustable camber.

So very aggressive driving and hard cornering on a daily basis cannot cause this wear?
Anyone feel free to answer. This is really what I want to know anyway!

If you can't find a good alignment shop, take it to a HSDE track event to equalize the tread wear!
