Bad camber or toe worse for tires?

ddvette9 · 11-12-2012, 03:19 PM

Just dropped my car and the camber obv couldn't be put into spec but the alignment got all my toe into spec. So in general, on a daily driver does poor camber or poor toe cause worse wear on tires?

Toe is the tire killer, camber not so much.

I thought it was the opposite.

Although too much toe will make handling very erratic.

Toe can hurt bad and fast. 1/8 off can start to play a toll.

If you have some negtive cambers you can always rotate tires. But if you out of toe your tires screwed.

Toe is by far the worst.
