once a tire starts to wear funny there is no way of stopping it. it will continue to wear that way until you get a new set.....that is if you don't have any other problems

Could you tell us a little more about your suspension setup?

Do you have camber kits? What are your settings?

Can you get a print-out?

so did you install any adjustable upper control arms or anything. if all they did was adjust toe and go and you have no way of adjusting camber because from the factory there is no way of adjusting camber.

Do you have a print out? If so, what is the camber at?
