I was checking out my tires and I noticed this today... I know it had been worn, but it has gotten progressively worse. I finally decided to take it off and put my donut on when the steel started to show... What I don't understand is why only one side of the tire is worn badly. All of the other tires are fine. Someone told me I just need an alignment. Could it be like a bent suspension problem or something?

Heres a picture of the tire.

 

You need an alignment. Get your Toe adjusted back to 0. And get some new tires.

I just got my car and it's totally stock still. I just have an aem intake installed. The height is still at stock height. Ya they are shitty tires, they came w/ the car. I put an ad out for some si rims /w good tires though. er i hope it's just an alignment.

Not likely, I am running almost -3* of camber in front, for about 2 years and I have NO abnormal tire wear whatsoever. I have my toe set to factory settings right now, which is why my tires wear so well.

its TOE not camber

Damn man, at least read the **** you tell others to read....

"For minimum tire wear and power loss, the wheels on a given axle of a car should point directly ahead when the car is running in a straight line. Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes the tires to scrub, since they are always turned relative to the direction of travel. Too much toe-in causes accelerated wear at the outboard edges of the tires, while too much toe-out causes wear at the inboard edges."

LOL. This is like watching a game of ping pong.

Get your car aligned so that BOTH the toe AND the camber are within spec.
