Question for you E55 members???

Do any of you E55 owners get tire wear from negative camber due to a major drop, I see a lot of cars on here that are slammed. I lowered my E500 and a got some serious tire wear in the rear, the metal thread are coming out!! is there anything I can do the fix this? I post this up on the E class forum and one member suggested buying a k-mac camber plate, my only worry is that will it work due to my serious drop, im about 2.5 inches from factory ( I have a module installed)

I have a solution for ya. Drive the thing hard around turns so the outside also wears.

Personally, I have just lived with it. I basically tune the car to drive the way I like and if that means wearing some extra tire, then so be it. i just check the inside of the tread now.

Yep, I go through tires like I go through bottles of Patron. My tires are get so loud that I've been changing them every 5K miles or so. **sigh**
