rear tire wear mileage question for those that have neg camber?
Fellow lowered tribe members!
Given that some of you have gone with lowering your car... Do any of you record the number of miles before the tire wears out?
I am running Ventus v12 evo tires.
Max Performance Summer
Tread wear 280
Mileage ~13k
My question is, is this normal for a budget max performance tire with its treadwear life given that my car is lowered? Too little life? More than usual?

REAR CAMBER SOLUTION....
Having no Camber adjustment OEM we offer a precise “single wrench” adjustment system.
No mods – simply replaces the lower control arm inner bushings (Bush extraction tool supplied).
Allowing ongoing adjustment to return to factory specs after altering height, fitting wide profile tires/wheels, load carrying, curb knock damage or just wanting to be able to fine tune specs/traction on race days.
A revolution in design – the unique K-MAC patented system does away with the need to labour intensively remove the bushings or the one only position OEM slot/fluted bolts each time to change settings. Instead adjustment is done on car (accurately under load direct on alignment rack).
Major advantage over “adjustable arms” is that K-MAC rear kits – if wanting to reduce excess inner edge tire wear – move bottom of tires inwards – unlike adjustable arms that move top of tires outwards reducing all important clearance to outer fender.
With the new rear Camber facility kit includes extra “Toe adjustment” to compensate. The design of thee four main bushings also provides more positive rear end location for tauter, more responsive handling.
Similar features with the K-MAC front kits. Fast/precise Camber and Caster adjustment for the first time with up to three times the adjustment range of the inaccurate one only position slot/fluted bolts and again no labour intensive disassembly required.
The front patented system also eliminates the four main wearing (oil filled and air voided) bushings. With twice the load bearing area, yet still retains the two axis movement, allowing bushes to travel through their required suspension arcs without binding. Result is additional benefit of improved brake and steering response.
On race days the single wrench adjustment means front settings can be easily changed for extra track width and negative camber to lower lap times by being able to go deeper into the corners.
