So a couple of months ago, I lost control of my car on the highway and did a full 360 going at about 100km/h. It was raining that day, but I had no idea how it happened until I went and looked at my rear tires. So the inner side of my toyo T1R proxes were completely bald, however, the outside were fine. It was clearly a camber issue. I was just shocked cause I never once had a problem driving in the rain. Well now its time to throw my volks back on after a winter with my stocks and I'm not sure what to do. Should I just remount the tires on the opposite wheel on each side of the rear so the inner side of the wheel now has the good amount tread and the outer side doesn't and just monitor the tread wear on the inner side of the tire until I need new tires or do you guys think its time for 2 new tires?? Could a simple alignment have prevented this problem or was it a camber issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you should get your tires rotated as in unmounting your tire then flipping it then remounting it. I run a bit of negative camber on mine so I also did that. It costs me $54 to rotate staggered setup + balance + new valve stems for the front. Guessing its around $100 for front and back.

Um, how about buying new tires...

Ya, I think that's what I will do and use the same tires for about another 2 summers. I definitely need to monitor wear a lot more though. If anyone thinks this is unsafe for any reason, let me know cause I don't want to risk anything.

Any particular reason for double threads?

Was wondering how you worn out 370Z tires so fast.

I accidently posted under 370z wheels and tires so I started a new thread under the 350z section, but I guess the admins moved it and added my new thread into this one...
