Default front outside inner tires problem

whats up guys....my car is lowered on tein s tech spring with stock cambers and had an aligtment las year... but the tires are wearing out quick...iono how to explain it wher it is...but lets say if u jacked up ur car and look at the base of the tires where the tire meets the ground....the only worn out part is the inner half of the base....does that make any sense to you guys..

what is the problem and how can i solve this with out buying camber kits...i cant afford camber kits right now due to economy crisis..is their another way of going around this....did i get a bad alignment done ?? should i get it re-align again ? help !!!! fyi, my back tires are perfect condition still .....

'outside inner tire' ? you mean only the edges? that = under inflation

no not the edges ....what i meant to say was the bottom of the tire where the tire meets the ground....the inner half is worn out alot more than the other outer half....did i make sense ? lolz

Even though S2000s have camber adjustments it's not enough to set everything back to zero once the car's been lowered.
Dismount and rotate your front tires from left to right, right to left to get use out of the unused portion of the tires.

You need to flip your tires after awhile so that the inner half becomes the outer half and vice versa, that will make your tires last a bit longer

if i swapped the tires left to right ... the rotational would be opposite...isn't that bad..... so basically..whether or not u have camber kit ... it'll keep wearing out the tires?

You have to demount the tire from the rim, then flip it so it points the same direction.

Have your alignment rechecked too. What camber are you running up front? I assume you are at stock spec's. What tires are you running, the rating on the tire will dictate the rate at which your tires wear. What you are experiencing may be normal, given your alignment/tires, rotating will even out the wear.
