When I bought my car two years ago it was bone stock except lowered about an inch. It has neuspeed sport springs on stock shocks, and my question is this. Would this setup be causing more wear on the inside of my rear tires then say, Ground Control/KYB AGx setup? I got Yoko ES 100's last summer and had them rotated once already, but the tires that are on the back now are pretty much ruined.

 

Get a proper alignment and no amount of lowering will **** up your expensive tires.

 

poor alignments are what ruins tires

 

I ordered two new tires today and I'm getting a 4 wheel alignment thursday. How will I know what's "proper"?

 

Have them align your car to stock specs by using any methods they have to. Stock suspension geometry doesn't **** up tires, so if they become fucked up after the alignment, you can make them pay you.

Wish I would have done that four years ago when I lowered my S10 6 inches .

 

Well I went to get an alignment today and they said my tires were worn because of camber, and that an alignment wouldn't do me any good. They said I need a camber kit and proceeded to tell me it would be $450. I said no thanks and that I could do that myself if that's what I need, but I wanted to get more opinions first. Should I take it to another shop first? or just buy a camber kit?

 

CAMBER DOES NOT WEAR TIRES, BAD ALIGNMENTS DO!!!!!!!!
camber only has minimal affects on tire wear! Think about it the next time you see a BMW(Z3/4 M3/5) from the rear, guess what it has from the factory CAMBER!!!! the Z3 comes stock with 1.6* of camber(from what i remember)
go to another alignment shop if they are gonna feed you that horse crap

Toe is the most crucial tire wear factor.

 

anyone else?

 

what else do you want? every one that has posted here is correct. other opinion's are just wrong. but you have es100, they aren't a highmilage tire, its a performance tire, so i don't know why your worried about mileage.
