I was looking at the rear tires, on the outside there is hardly any tread left but uou go towards the inside and there is still about half tread left or just a tad less.

Any ideas?

If you have been lowered, there is a good chance the rear camber is off just enough to cause excess wear. I have not seen any odd wear on mine yet. I have just shy of 30K miles off which the last 17K has been lowered. My camber is slightly off. But I do rotate the tires every time I change my oil which is about 5K miles.

Okay, so I may be calling on you all to work on this.........I'm picturing very casual, light hearted, Ruby mentioned a couple of ideas she had, I personally love hula hoop competitions, and I'm pretty good at water balloon toss, maybe we could get the mods to get in on some whipped cream pie throwing contests.............later on, Circle of Death

uuuhhhh.....did I say that

I am at stock height. I am sure that camber is not covered under warranty

How are you rotating your tires when the fronts are smaller? just side to side?

It would look good. Many others have done that set-up. If I go wtih 20's, I plan to run the General G-Max-AS-03 in all 4 corners. 275/40/20 This are a good high performance all season tires. I want the ability to rotate in all 4 corners.

General tires? I always thought of those as not so good from what I've heard. I've never used them....trying them out or good personal experience?

I am also stock height & tires for now, but the tires probably won't last much longer with this uneven wear. Mine are 18's all around. I plan to get new wheels when tires need to be replaced & do it all at once.

Okay, I hope it will be a blast! ............on & off the track

Had a busy weekend doing Mods to Club members cars . I did another Ice-olator My second in the pass few weeks . I also did 2 rear bumper ACC led reverse light upgrades .
After that I did a few things to mine . I installed AAC RGB light bars . it's up under the front bumper to light up the grille area . Video to come .. I dyed all the interior seat stitching .. pics to come and also the Custom floor mats ( All lettering was Gray as was the outline ) and the Team LLT head rest .
Here are a few pics .

And tried this New Turtle Wax Tire shine .. Black Tire Coat . Looks wet for Weeks !

Looking GREAT Marvin, Let me know how that Turtle Wax holds up and if it slings anything while driving. They sure do look wet now.

I like what you did with the yellow dye, nice touch.

Marvin, the stitching looks nice! I just finished mine the other day. It really livens up the interior, doesn't it?!?!

Your car looks fantastic! You have done such a great job!

Thanks .. And the Turtle Wax pics are 3 days old and driven on ! Wow does this shine .. You have to let the car sit for a hour so the coating bonds and then your off ! Nothing to sling down the side on your car like other products .

Excellent! I will have to try that then. I use Turtle Wax tire foam but it certainly doesn't do as well as the stuff you use.

I really like the Turtle Wax & Dry, too. It works very well!
