didn't know where i should put this post, but since suspension effects the tires i thought i would put it here.

got 2 new front tire about a year ago(because my dumbass was spinning the tires in the turns and it needed an alignment) also got an alignment at the same time the tires went on. Now the tires have worn very unevenly. The front passenger side's outer edge is worn to the secondary rubber and the front drivers side inner is worn to the secondary rubber. what is broke on the front that would cause this. is it becasue my camber is all screwed up. i will go check the alignment sheet i got when it was done and post what it was. but if the camber is in spec what should i be looking at for this problem?? want to get it fixed before i put all new tires on.

Toe.

If the shop aligned it properly, it could be worn linkages/bushings allowing it to run out of spec despite the most careful adjustments. Or, the shop mucked it.

Toe being off usually effects both sides equally and the same. I suspect a camber problem. Please post your alignment readings so we can better help you.
