TIRE WEAR UNEVEN OUTER REAR - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I INSTALLED MPSS 315/35/20 ON THE REAR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO. I JUST CHECKED THE TREAD DEPTH AND THE OUTER MEASUREMENT WAS A TENTH LESS THAN THE REST OF THE TIRE. IS THERE A REAR ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
THAT WILL CORRECT THE WEAR PROBLEM?

Have you checked the air pressure? Outer wear sometimes means low tire pressure......

Do you know what they put the rear camber at when you had it aligned? I always get a fresh alignment with new tires. Do you hit corners hard? If you do that means you are using the outside of your tire and that could somewhat explain it. If that's the case you want to run more negative camber in back to compensate. I use the BMR alignment specs for my ZL1.
