Default Wheel &Toe Alignment

Well Ive posted about this once already but im just trying to be sure its what it is before i do it. I Recently Bought new rims and tires, but after a month my front tires got worn out pretty bad they were smooth as can be, even ware on both tires, i first thought it was because my car was too low and thought my tires were rubbing but i never heard anything while driving, then i started to think a little more and thought it could be my alignment? i was wondering maybe i need a toe alignment? could this be what caused my tires to waste so quick or might it be my camber kit not adjusted properly?..Advice please

For wear that fast, the odds are that it is either toe or worn parts allowing dynamic alignment changes while driving (meaning, the toe is the issue, either the static setting or dynamic changes).

I went 35k miles on a set of Toyo Proxes 4s, with -4* of front camber, with perfectly even wear. Rubbing is what killed them too, not wear.

Check out the stickied thread in the suspension forum on why camber kits are unnecessary for our cars.

Your toe is way off if tires are wearing that fast
