If it was toe. He would have feathering on the edges of the tread blocks which he don't have. I get the same wear pattern on my tires as OP.

What camber are you running. I am at -1.5. I may run less later.

The next thing. Are you lowered? If so, how much?
Its a stock vehicle, i have never been on a track or anything, just driving around town. I dont get too crazy with it but i might hear them spin every once in a while when pulling out and turning onto a street if i punch it.

I went ahead and ordered the firehawks and am going to try them tomorrow and have a nice talk with the firestone people about my alignment when they check it and see if they can resolve it for me better than tire kingdom did.

I am checking this thread because I am in search of summer tires for my car. I've been browsing the options on 4wheelonline while reading the recommendations on this thread. My car is a 2018 Nissan 370z model.

Non track/autox use, I'd recommend Michelin PS4S. They are comfortable, quiet, and great in rain and dry. They also grip pretty well around town and backroads, not needing a lot of heat.
Rusty, Hotrodz and 1alexie like this.

And since it's a DD. Get your rear camber reset to -1.5.
