http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=170855

I had network alignment in mesa on main and centinial do the alignment on my car and yesterday i noticed my front right tire is completely shot. keep in mind i have a 2004 civic with 8,004 miles on it, rufus can attest to that, he was in my car last week when it had less than 8,000 on it, and brand new tires/wheels are on the car. Now look what happened. not even 600 miles later or 1 month later after gettting my car lowered and myh brand new front right tire is completely gone. the rears still have a good 10,000+ miles on them to go. I'm not supposed to have to need a front camber kit for my suspension setup. Not sure if the guy just jacked it up or what, but damn. Why would the tire be gone in less than 1,000 miles??

no **** man, i had my last car lowered for nearly 2yrs and never had to replace the tires once, my camber was all jackd up on the front too and it still didn't wear out in 500 miles.

Won't messed up toe settings cause much faster tire damage than the camber anyway? When you had the alignment fixed what did the new shop say? I'm sure they could tell you if it was jacked up by the last place.

bad alignment or bad tire. for alignment theres "bob jordans" in scottsdale. and if you are beyond slammed let me know theres another alingment shop that can do any drop, or lift. there kind of old school but they get the job done.

I took my car to network alignment. they specialize in lowered vehicles and raised vehicles. I think the toe settings were off a bit, because it pulls to the right a slight bit. Anyways, i'll see what happens on tuesday after i get finished at that other place.

Yes bad toe settings have a greater wear effect on tires than camber...
Tire Rack says that a toe out adjustment of as little as an 1/8 of an inch is the equivalent of draggin your tire sideways for 26 miles for every 1000 forward miles!!! You can be toe out and still track kinda straight. Does your car tramline real bad or is it real touchy/ quick to change direction? I'd have them double check your toe!!!
I used to work at Bell Honda and they do my car(lowered 2.5 inches) for $60 ask for Adrian...
Peace
