So my tires popped like 2 times in the last year. Its the same one, the rear right. Im thinking that i should purchase a camber kit. Do you think it really helps if i buy one? Will it reduce the tires being bald dramatically? Also if i decide to buy new rims in a year or two will it be difficult to adjust the camber kit. any advice. I spend over $1500 on tires this year.... im thinking of selling the car and buying the new 4 door tacoma or 3 serious bmw.

camber kit is easily adjustable.

Works great, easy to adjust and will work with wheels you have now and what you get in the future. I got the ones from Car Lab and they work fine.

Maybe its not just your camber. More like toe in/out. Have ya got an alignment?

What do you mean "popped"? Did they wear out? Or do you literally mean they let out air?

If one tire is wearing fast than the other, I would check the camber, though it would have to be off significantly to cause the tires to wear unevenly. I haven't bothered to buy a camber kit yet and this is my logic: By the time the inside of the rear tires are threading, the outside of the tires are well below the wear bars. The tires need to be replaced regardless of the uneven camber wear.

If you get new rims you won't need to adjust camber. Camber (along with rear toe) only changes when you raise or lower the car.

I would also suggest that when you buy new tires, buy the extra replacement insurance for anywhere between $15-$30 per tire.

It's a FREE replacement from most major Tire Stores, and not a bad investment. It's paid off twice for me !

What tires are we talking about (ie brand, model)?

Yea i have the same car and that happened to me a few months back but it was my dad who entered the parking lot too fast and i guess hit the rear tire too hard on the curb which caused the tire to go flat. Took it to Costco and got it filled up - no problems since.

will the camber kit help me dramatically? I heard that Camber kit will specifically engineered to allow the owners of lowered Mercedes-Benz to adjust the rear tire camber back to stock Mercedes-Benz specifications thus eliminating excessive rear tire wear. is that true?also wear can i get it installed in san diego?

BMW makes some fun cars, but none of the 3's are serious...
