Doing a little work on my car, I noticed my tires were wearing out a little odd. Here's a picture of the tire...maybe someone can give me an analysis

Yokohama AVS es100
205-45-16
Drivers Side, Front Tire
Camber is at 1.2 degrees in the front, 1.4 in the rear

I assume by the tread pattern that is the inside of the tire?

Is your car dropped a lot? If it is on both sides and your car is dropped it is probably camber wear.

If it is just one side it looks like a "toe out" problem. Get an alignment.


anyone else?

 

Where in cali you at??? If your in the North County area, bring it by my job!!

 

There are many possible causes:

- camber wear due to lowering

- improper alignment

- suspension problem (e.g. worn bushings allowing the tie rods to wiggle back and forth slightly as you drive)

Have it aligned and/or put it up on a lift to inspect the suspension...

it has nothing to do with your camber.

Have not recently checked the toe, but when I set it initially, it was at 0.4 in the front, 0.2 in the rear. I'm in the Pasadena Area.
