What's with these tires?

Any idea if you have any aftermarket camber adjustments on the car when you bought it?

I would get stickier/fatter tires, add some negative camber, and maybe look into an LSD upgrade if you're still having issues

The car doesn't have an aftermarket camber kit. I think if I go with a 285/35/19 I'm going to rub. It's pretty low. I'm going to buy a camber kit. Is anyone on here selling a used set?

I think its treadwear rating is 220 if I'm not mistaken. My Mocal oil cooler just started seeping oil out of the bottom 3 rows and now I'm trying to get that replaced too. It's pretty crappy lol, the car is so new I didn't expect to need anything for a while!

Trust me, I hear you.

I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports which are supposed to have a 300 treadwear rating and last for 25k+ miles... I had to replace my rears (295/30) at 8k due to bad alignment and uneven wear. Your problem isn't the tires.

new doesnt mean much when you mod lol but sorry to hear your havin such issues. Ive only heard great things about invos so its surprising to hear they didnt work out to well for ya but sounds like youre just so far cambered that basically your usin the inner edge of the tire only.
