Tires wear out too fast

My tires keep wearing out on the inside in about 3 to 4 months. i have my TL lowered 1.5in and sitting on 245/30ZR20 Falken tires. when i get it aligned at pep boys they align it to its factory. Does anyone know any camber specs or where i can find some so my tires wont wear out so fast?

^as said, it's probably TOE that is killing your tires. camber has very little to do with it.

what are your TOE specs? you need them as close to 0.00 as you can get it.

Post the print out of your alignment results. If you don't have it, go back to SuckBoys and have them print it out. It should be saved on hard disk.

Camber will wear the tires, just not as fast as incorrect toe.
Rear Camber -.5 to -1.5 degrees
Rear Toe 0 to .30 degrees
Front Camber-1 to 0 degrees
Front Toe -.15 to .15 degrees

You've lowered the car, are riding 20" tires on a car designed for wheels no larger than 18", and you wonder why you have problems?

Just remember, the 245/30-20's are just about the same diameter as the OE tires, so size won't be the cause of the problem.
