How low are you? You would have to have a TON of camber to be burning thru tires. Are you properly aligned as far as toe?

I finally went ingalls they are now $200 on ebay, instead of burning through $300 worth of tires every 6 months, be warned they still need a little shaving to not hit the frame

How much is your camber off? What front camber kit do you have?

Camber will not wear your tires out near as fast as improper toe settings. It would be helpful to know your set up, how many miles, and have you checked any of your other suspension components. Our cars are getting some age on them and the rubber OEM bushings are not going to be performing at there best.
