htown, I'm dying to benchmark my TL.
let me know, if you're down for a friendly run.
There's this place in "Mexico" that I know of.

I just successfully installed pre-cat-deletes.
I also have an aftermarket jpipe.

this weekend i did some things to my car.
cabin air filter change(old one was DIRTY)
3rd and 4th gear pressure switch sensors(my transmission lag is gone now! using paddle shifters is fun now!)
changed passenger front and driver front window regulator(no more creaking noise now and much smoother operation)
put on a brand new license plate holder in front(doesnt look too bad and covers up some rock chips)

my car is perfect now the only issue i have left with it is the annoying chirping from the engine when cold @ 1900rpm and the broken navi talk voice.

I posted this in the Tire Wheels section but thought my squad might be able to help as well

Hey guys my front tires are wearing a little weird.

Especially the front drivers tire... The insides are wearing very fast... basically the very inside edge 1" before the inner sidewall at a 30 degree angle.

I had it aligned and the report showed toe was in check and the camber was like a -1.2 which wasn't horrible I thought.

My question is what would cause this crazy fast wear on the inside 1" of the tire at a severe angle? When you view my car the front tires are not cambered bad I mean my rears look cambered at -3 but the wear is not bad as compared to the front.

What could be causing this extreme wear. Should I take it to get aligned again? maybe toe is out? It drives perfectly straight and does not pull. Could there be other bushings or something else that could cause this wear?

Any advice is appreciated so I can correct this issue and save my tires lives

Here is a pic of my old tires I just changed since i wanted to run narrower tires but the new ones are also wearing pretty fast on the inside..... You can see in the pic the left side about a 1" patch worn at an angle...

Thanks in advance

^ they said hmmm looks like toe ... i duno i guess i should bring it to another alignment shop and see what they say.... im just wondering if there is something else that could be causing this like a worn busing or something that is alloowing it to sag or do something off.... it seems like a very severe angle of wear is that how toe looks?
