Regardless of the cause, get some Coni's Extreme Contact DWS tires is you want better wear.

Zero toe to a hair toe in is what you want.

Read again. I said toe in, out back... We are on the same side here. LOL
I have experienced the snap with OEM specs after I lowered. That's when I went to a touch toe in, in the rear.

That's some pretty heavy toe front and back. Get the front to dead zero. And I as I said a touch toe in, in the back. Different machines read different, but I think if you're in oem spec, you're toed out at all 4 corners. Either way it's more than a 1/4" total toe in back. And more than an 1/8" in front. Both are high numbers IMO. It's toe eating your tires most likely.

Sorry, I missed the word "in" in the sentence. :shakes head: My eyes skipped over it. :shakes head: That changes the meaning of the sentence. ;)
