tonight i was out doing burnouts with my friends n **** and having fun...well i start to leave and i hear this flapping sound? im like wtf...so we pull over and check out the tires...outside apperance looks great...still alot of tread and what not...we look under the car...omg..the driver side rear tire from the center of the tire in is completely bald...the metal straps that hold the tire together was slappin my car..that was the sound i peep out my passenger side tire and its worn but not neraly as bad? im guessin my camber is fcuked up? and i def need at least one new tire....just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest but good camber kit for the rear? and cheapest tire place for yokohamas? thankssssss

 

no... your camber is correct...

I'm guesing you have wider-than-OEM wheels/tires on your car??? With the wider tires more of the inside of the tire is making contact with the road. And, since one side is worse than the other, you have a Base 350Z with an open rear differential. That means you are spinning only one tire, not both as you would with a limited slip rear diff. All that wheel-spinning may be cool, but it's also a good way to ruin tires, as you have just found out.

In the future, you need to keep an eye on the inside tread and when it's about 1/2 worn down have a tire shop turn the tires around on the wheel and then move the driver's side wheel to the passenger side and passenger to driver's. This will keep the tread rolling in the same direction, but it will put the outer edge (with more tread) onto the indside of the wheel... this will give you more life out of your tires.

thanks for the heads up but the thing is i dont have a base i have a enthusiast...lsd..hids..and leather seats...??? my car is lowered its just weird how one tire is more worn than thw other and you can kinda tell how they lean in? i duno what i should do but i need to do sumthin quick

 

you need new tires! other than that, go easy on the burnouts, or use a different set of wheels/tires for the burnout sessions
