Front tire wear

I realize the 4 wheel drive eats tires faster. My fronts go really fast on outside tread. Does riding the car in a raised position change the camber?
continental Conti sport contac 5p seem to suck.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
even if you have it in the up position, it still changes to lower when you are driving. I notice mine wears on the outside too,.

Looking for 2 fronts. Leaning toward Michelin but still not sure.
Drive like a sport then pay like a sport but 3-4k for fronts seem wrong.

Fact / Reality – OEM there is no adjustment to resolve costly premature excess edge tire wear.

It is all to do with cost cutting and ever increasing speed of new car assembly lines.

The often quoted reassuring “Full Front & Rear 4 Wheel Alignment” is only “TOE” - DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENT New car industry’s best kept secret !

We saw the need therefore and have re instated from the 90’s once again full precise front and rear adjustment. Providing “ongoing” adjustment to fix it right the 1st time!



All C217/A incl. S63/65 AMG
All W222 incl. S63/65 AMG


FRONT CAMBER (ONLY) #502216-1 $345 (Both Sides)
(Less cost then 1 hi-performance tire).


FRONT CAMBER & CASTER #502216K $480 (Both Sides).


REAR CAMBER (& Extra Toe adjustment) #502626K $480 (Both Sides).

Both Front & Rear kits also replace the highest wearing bushings at the same time.

Fast accurate adjustment direct on alignment rack (under load).



Delivery worldwide DHL air $40 one kit $60 Front & Rear.
