Low profile tire problem-HELP

Well i recently went to have a rear tire patched at NTB. When i was there i figured i might as well let them rotate my tires. Well when they removed my rear tires they noticed that the top inside of my tires the tire tread was kinda bumpy like sort of small rolls nothing like indentions but kinda like small hills on my tread. I have a camber kit but have not had it adjusted since i had it installed early this past summer. I was wondering if you all had any info. on how to prevent anymore wear or what your 2 cents might be?? thanks

I would have the vehicle realigned. It sounds to me as if your toe in is off, meaning your wheels are slightly not parallel.

You need a good four wheel alignment. If your camber was off, you would have an even wear pattern on the inside edge of your rear tires.

You answered your own questions. Just get an alignment man. Any time you modify the suspension you should get an alignment.

If your wheels are well balanced, then you will probably need alignment.

Driving on unbalanced wheels for a while can cause the same problem too.
