WTF is up with my tires - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Vayber · 10-03-2008, 02:06 PM

So I bought tire not more than 6 months ago for my S14 and I got the car aligned because who ever had it before dropped it and never aligned it. My ? is now my tires are almost bald from the inside again what could it be? Someone told me that I needed to get camber adjusters. Suggestions anyone?

what kind of suspension do you have? do you have ruca's?

cfrost · 10-03-2008, 02:09 PM

sounds like you have too much camber

most of the weight / contact is on the inside of the tire when you get that kind of wear because of cambbbbbbbberrrrrrrr

SoguRacing · 10-03-2008, 02:12 PM

could be a camber and toe problem. we need to know some specs.
camber:
toe:
wheel size: width and offset.
did the car pull?

Toe is what eats tires fast like that.

Yeah, bad toe kills tires alot faster than bad camber.

ZX88 · 10-03-2008, 03:27 PM

stlthftr1 · 10-03-2008, 03:34 PM

mine is the same way on my 280z and it pulls to the side it wears more..... does your pull to either side?
