Uneven Tire wear?
Has anyone noticed uneven tread wear on your rear tires? My right rear tire seems to wear out significantly faster than the left. I saw a 30% faster wear rate from one side to another. BTW, yes I did have the car aligned by the stealership & they claim everything is within normal tolerance.
Is this normal?

I'm lucky to get 10K out of a set due to uneven wear. But I'm lowered on staggered wheels with directional tires. 
Pretty much the worst setup you can have for tire longevity.

I also have the: almost worst set-up. The difference; I'm running staggered 18's during the summer. I've got the winter set up on now 18" Dunlap M3's (Great snow tires). I'm also lowered about 1.2". I still don't understand how I could chew up the right tires so quick. I'm on my second set of rears in about 10k also.
has anybody tried the camber adjustment for lowered airmatics???
