Default I have no idea how I was able to cause the tires to rub the fender

They use to look a lot worse after the first auto-x event but the chunk that I took out from bottoming out or whatever it was actually makes things look better..

Sorry but that type of wear and tear doesn't count.

Default NO.. that was no curb.. Its the same on both front tires.. I thought the stock setup didn't rub :)

Maybe I should go back to my dealership and raise hell about these stinking tires wearing so horribly..?? lol.. j/k

Default Yes it does.. Look at dougs. Even the kumhos on my maxima didn't look like this after

about 10 auto-x events.. These tires just suck.. Maybe they are more driving miss daisy orientated?

Default looks normal to me...youll see a lot more wear on the inside of your tires. stock camber is quite

aggresive on the frt and rear.
