go to a proper alignment shop that deals with race cars, including drift cars, and see if they spot anything beyond the glaring issues of your camber and insane toe specs

you also didn't give us your tire compound, which is also a factor

tire wear is always gonna come down to:
- camber
- toe
- compound
- driver

everything you gave us is that your camber is high, your toe is NUTS, and your driving is hard.

wtf u expect us to say? we aren't looking under your car, we aren't gonna point out a magical gremlin thats eating your tires at night
Actually toe is the greatest influence on wear I forget the actual equation or saying but it’s always x amount of toe is worth more than x amount of camber but yes all his angles are completely screwed. You essentially put so much -camber that now the outside of the tire isn’t really even touching and then added so much toe your dragging the tire across the pavement the whole way scuffing the **** outa the tire. Sorry op but really any alignment shop shoulda been able to tell you this was a bad plan.
JARblue and Rusty like this.
