this is my tire on the passenger side , and only this side is bad
i think its due to the bad shocks so i cant get a good camber, its on -2.x

is this regular wear due to bad camber?
or is somthing rubbing on the inside wheel well ?

 

and how long do you think i can get out of them befor i have a blowout ?

 

yes its camber -

Please fix it soon with a simple alignment (if your not dropped)

If you are dropped - get some adjustable rear camber arms..

 

im drop on tanabe nf210 and thank you for the advice

so maybe 500miles ? i drive like a old granny

 

I'm not sure that is camber. Those linear scratches are what would have me worried. It looks like something is rubbing on the tire in that location.

The tire wear could be from camber or toe. I would get another alignment. Since the tires you have are symmetrical, you can dramatically increase the tire life by having them dismounted, flipped, and rotated to the opposite side.

 

To me also, looks like something is scraping on it.

 

^^^ good idea if it wasnt so worn...but thats a burn off tire now, not even a reputable tire shop would "flip" it .. I wouldnt use it if I was using my car for a daily.

 

if thats camber he's running at least -5 degrees. In the pics, is the car just sitting in the garage or is it jacked up a little? If its just sitting you can see how extreme the camber is just by looking at the tire angle.

Im running -2 camber in my rear and the wear is not near that bad.

Get a set of rear camber arms and toe rods

 

werd...not worth risking your life dude......

and so true on a shop not willing to flip it...they will haggle you to buy a tire from them....

Okay, this is what i gather....

You mention "I think its due to the bad shocks so i cant get a good camber, its on -2.x" so this tells me you have, or recently have had it aligned at an alignment shop....and now some weeks/months later you see this.....so thats tells me your blown shock definitely is the culprit....

Answer these questions

1. Are you lowered?

2. if so, how much and any rear after market toe bolt, etc..??


My thoughts are no because i see a stock rear camber arm, ie, no adjust ability. or you haven't bought a rear camber arm which you will need if your lowered low enough..

Solution:
If you know your shock is blown, replace it and if your at stock height, go get an alignment and get back into spec...in the interim - replace your tire.......

My speculation:
If its only one rear blown shock
I'm guessing you have a base model - open base differential and you like to do launches or "punch it" here and there - which caused one side shock to blow and now one tire wear more than the other due to camber and bad toe with shock blown thus throwing alignment off........as you mentioned camber is -2.x........

awaiting the answer to the question to ensure accuracy...

yes im lowered . and i have nothing but tanabe nf210 on right now at the moment

and its a touring model,

i did get a alignment 2 months ago and the rear passenger side cant be pulld within spec

thats why only that one is on -2.x right now

my solution is change my shocks and springs ( have them both in the garage / tokico blue , tein s tec )
get a new set of rims and tires thats gonna be going on there

but mean time just wondering how long i have for that one tire befor blowout
or is it somthing rubbing on it like a member up there said, somthing scraping on that area.

since im stil waiting for my rims arive

 

There are two things you should never, ever skimp on with any car you own:

1) Brakes
2) Tires

Get your camber issue fixed if you have one and get a new tire. If something scraping against that tire, figure out what it is.

 

man, that sucks. makes me skeptical about purchasing the car with it like that.. text me about this.

 

its just camber wear. an alignment will slow the wear down. you need a camber kit or just live with it. but you do need a new tire soon....

 

new tires coming right now lol

 

it may be camber. but i think too harsh marks to be from camber only. check out the asle arm. may be something is hanging out there. any any creeping sounds?

 

This IS not from bad camber. It is from way to much toe. When you lower a Z with just springs its just enough where you cant get the toe back where it needs to be without the larger toe bolts. -2.xx camber is more than fine and right outside factory spec. You need to get some SPC or other brand larger camber bolts, install them and then get an alignment at a reputable shop.
