How the hell did you NOT notice that??!!?!? Lucky for you they didn't blow at highway speed.

Dangerous much?

I'm sorry, but that is just incredibly stupid on your part. I can't get over it.

You are very lucky.

What are your camber #s right now?

**04STiguy79** · 01-16-2008, 01:16 PM

What are you riding on? Such as springs, coil overs, and did you get a alignment after the install?? Like everyone has said u are very lucky one of those bad boys did not pop or you would have worse problems than having to get new tires.

**fullerton** · 01-16-2008, 01:19 PM

my guess is he had some toe-out and that caused the insides to wear....

this is assuming he is intelligent enough to realize that negative camber causes inside wear and figure out that he was not running too much of it. big stretch, considering he drove on those tires.

Only if you intend to run the plates with more positive camber than you can run with the camber bolts currently on the car...

Did you get an alignment after you installed the S-techs?

Did you get a professional alignment after getting the new tires put on?
