Local Porsche/Merc place did the alignment and I told them it is just for street use...maybe that's why the zero camber?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have owned the car since Jan 17 and have put on almost 8K miles since I bought it. Last tire change per service records was at 95,000 miles. Rear Michelin PS2's were shot, fronts were still good. I don't track the car and figured I really didn't want to spend 1400 on a new set of PS2's or 700 on just rears so I went with the Sumitomo's based on some reading here and elsewhere. $532 shipped and $83 to install them with a %75 visa coming my way for buying four. 285/30/18 fronts 225/40/18 rears. Anyway, the left rear had some uneven wear so I had an alignment done. Turns out the car was out of spec just about everywhere. For the experts, how bad was it prior to having it aligned? Cheers guys and thank you!

POST 2Original post

These cars will wear the insides of their rear tires, that's normal. Eliminating that would require very little rear negative camber and toe-in, both of which would have some pretty unfavorable handling results. Is there a reason you're running zero negative camber up front? The more front negative camber the better with these cars. Front toe-in will help with straight line stability, but IMHO it dulls steering response, especially when you're lacking negative camber. Who aligned your car?

Thanks Dean, is it normal for just one rear to wear uneven? Left rear was warn more on the inside. Local Porsche/Merc place did the alignment and I told them it is just for street use...maybe that's why the zero camber? Isn't wasn't something I specified. Appreciate your input. Cheers.
