Guess I'll be needing new shoes in the spring.
These are my rear tires. They're 265/30/19 Evo V12's. They have roughly 12k miles on them The car is riding on a KW V2 suspension, but the rear spring perches are almost all the way extended, so there is little drop. Why did they wear so fast? I've done exactly 0 burn outs. Is there a way to correct the camber angle? |

Looks like camber wear. How much negative camber do you have?

Definitely has camber wear on those, but the toe wear looks pretty straight. I would suggest flipping your tires every so often if you plan on buying those tires again. You'll get a lot more life out of them.

When an E9X is lowered beyond the limits of just lowering springs (coilovers), the rear wheels toe-in excessively. This excessive rear toe can cause increased tire wear. A common fix is to upgrade the toe arms with some adjustable toe arms. Adjustable rear toe arms will fix this problem and will not only save the life of your tires, but will also improve the overall handling characteristics of your car. You may want to check out the Rogue Engineering Adjustable rear toe arms to help solve your problem!
