To get even wear, you need to lean on them more often ;-)

Default The stock suspension doesn't have a camber adjustment and depending on the amount of drop...

the inside will wear more. If you want even wear you need to purchase a camber adjustment kit. It comes with adjustable links to replace the stock ones.

Default lots of variables here....

tire construction, pressure, driving stile, rotation schedule and road condition. for a few. i tend to wear the outside slightly more due to agressive cornering stile.

Any misadjustment could. But if you've had an alignment done and still wear insides, u need the kit

Default Just had mine aligned last week. The inside driver's side

tire was worn out. The tech gave me printout that showed how far outside the norm my tire was. But he also added that the Quattro system really "works" tires, aligned or not, and it had nothing to do with my plus-sized tires (225-50-16s). Best solution is just to rotate them every 5,000 to 7,000, which I was too lazy to do. So now I'm debating as to whether I should buy four new tires or just replace the fronts. (Have 25,000 on SP5000s).
