inside tire wear...help!!

hey guys...so this is whats happening... a year back i lowered my car with tein SS coils about 1.5 inches ( i have 19 ronjon legends as well). when i first got then teins installed, i went about 8k miles and air started leaking out from the FRONT two tires really fast. So pulled over and checked the tire and it was destroyed from the inside. The tire was improperly wearing from the inside. I bought two new tires and went to a tire shop and they had everything installed, aligned, and all that again...so another 7-8k miles and this happens again. Improper wear from the inside of the tire. I'm thinkin that the camber is off? any thoughts would be helpful..and if i do need a camber kit for the front, any ideas on where i should get em? thanks guys.

The alignment shop should have told you that they could not get the camber into specs. Take a look at the printout.

Everything red on your spec sheet is not a good sign. Oh and you might wanna get your specs on here, for better help.

most likely negative camber. look at your tires from the front of the car. Are the tires tilted in?

Alignment is off, if you have spacers throw them away, get a camber kit have them installed and go get an alignment from a reputable shop

If your toe is close to zero even with negative camber you shouldn't have uneven wear.

It could be your Toe that's causing you problems. Post up the specs of your camber/toe on here and we can take a look at what's wrong..

First of all, your alignment shop probably isn't doing their thing.

Also, post up pics of your tires..

and find a legit shop around the area that mostly deal with lowered cars..

these guys know whats up Toe cause majority of tire wear, try to find a shop that does alignments with the Hunter Alignment system, that system is the shizzle!! most shop owners that use the Hunter system specifically because it can align lowered cars no problem (drive up flat onto the alignment rack)
