Default Back Tires Go bald on inner edge?

This is happening to my back tires. The inner edge is wearing a little bit more than the middle and sides. Is this normal? I have stock suspension. Camber adjustment arms?

I have Toyo T1R's and put about 17K already.

Did you get your alignment checked? Must be off.

Yeah, pretty normal. Tire pressure? I run about 33 in the rears cold.
You can rotate the tires if you have a buddy that will swap them around for you. I usually go in and have them swap the tires every 7500 miles.


edit, i thought it was normal.

Completely normal. Our cars have some negative camber, so the inside of the tire is leaned on a bit more by the weight of the car.

Depends entirely on your driving style and maintenance schedule. I think T1Rs are rated at 30k, but I could be wrong. I have them as well and after 7k, tread depth is still at almost as-new levels. My factory alignment was way off and I had to get it adjusted at just 2k mi. Dealer covered it under warranty.

If you are lowered and have introduced more negative camber than stock then you might want something like that. Otherwise I'd leave it as is, unless you are only concerned with straight-line acceleration, those will give you a better contact patch for that.

Is it just me or is it kinda funny that "Just-Intercoolers" sells suspension parts.

They are the special "intercooled" suspension components silly, that's why!

I would definately not buy those, 55 bucks....they can't be any good. I don't htink it is right to judge by price, but when it comes to being that abnormally cheap...i would stay away. Get the spc arms and bolts if you want to mess with cabmer without forking over 600 for two sets of arms. As i understand it, if you mess with the camber you must change the toe also. Changing camber also changes toe the way our cars are set up. You must change the camber and then adj the toe back into spec, or wherever you want it.

There are some spc camber arms and toe bolts for sale on here and also look at the vendors section, i think there is a sale. I think i paid about 200 for mine.
