I have an older street car that the stock camber settings are rather negative and are wearing out the inside of my tires prematurely. The tires warranty is for 24,000 miles but I seem to be getting only about 8000 miles out of them. There is lots of tread left over the whole tire except for the very inside edge of the tires are wearing to the threads. The camber settings are correct and the dealer says that this tread wear is "normal". The front and rears are a different width and the tires are directional making rotation not an option, and the tire company says that they are no longer going to honor the warranty. Sooo I was thinking that if I slightly over inflate my tires I may get more miles out of them. What do you guys think??? Thanks a ton!
