I read this in the suspension forum many times. Some says that the inside of the tires does not wear because of the camber, it is because of the toe. To fix the inside tire wear problem, all you need to do is fix the toe at an alignment shop. Is this true or false for accords (97 accord)?

 

camber will wear the tires down ... but toe will to . if its the inside i would say get a camber kit

 

It takes a LOT of camber to create any decent amount of tire wear. Incorrect toe causes rapid tire wear.

With many cars, toe angles change as you turn the wheel. (As an example, as you turn the steering wheel more, the inside wheel experiences a greater amount of toe-out.) If the car is lowered, the toe angles can change even more. This creates irregular tire wear on the very inside edge, which most people mistakenly call camber wear.

I have a '99 Accord, lowered roughly 1.75 inches with only a rear camber kit. My front camber is well within factory alignment specs (without a camber kit) and front toe is at 0. I still experience accelerated tire wear on the very inside of the tread.

 

another problem i hear a lot is when you put on the front camber kits it is too high and will hit the upper inner fender or something. so is front camber kit needed to save the life of the tires? or just alignment to fix the toe?

 

My car is not even lowered (read 0 camber) and the insides of the tires are all chewed up. Toe is what eats tires.
