If you slam it then... yes it will happen to you. you need to buy a camber kit and then have it aligned, im not sure how much a camber kit goes for but an alignment should run you around 60 or 70 dollars.

that is probably because he never did an alignment which causes MOST tire wear
(when tires aren't strait)

Get an alignment, and you'll be fine.

Your bro is stupid because he drove around with his car severly out of allignment. An allignment is cheeper than a set of tires every two weeks.

1. Don't slam a car that is just queer and it rides like poopie.

2. Get an alignment right after any changes to tires or suspension.
