How is tire wear like that?
Will I chew through tires too fast or is it alright?
I am not a good candidate to speak for tire wear. I bought my car with a hair less than 30K in late August of 2017 and I just realized last week I got to 36K. These 6K have been shared with 2 sets of wheels and a handful of different tires cuz of trial and error, likes and dislikes.
What I can tell y'all is what used to be preached over at NASIOC (Subaru forum). Your car will corner like garbage when you have your alignment set to "neutral" in order to maximize tire wear. Negative camber won't wear out your tire prematurely. If your TOE is out of out spec... THAT will destroy your tire VERY quickly. Of course, this is not edged in stone over at NASIOC. Many felt those of us who went from the stock 16x6.5 & 215/45s to 18x9.5 & 255/35 (and -3° of camber) were simply insane. Be that as it may... tires in the old WRX never got torn up prematurely. Damn, now I miss all the turbo and external wastegate noises that thing used to make, sigh*
I wished I could provide exact TOE values that would be ideal, but all I can bring to the table is the picture above. My two sets of tires look just fine.
There is only front and rear Toe directional adjustment OEM.
New car industry's best kept secret. It's all to do with cost savings and ever increasing speed of auto assembly lines.
We therefore manufacture bolt-on front Camber and Caster kits along with rear Camber kit (with extra Toe adjustment to compensate).
Allowing to cater for other then showroom height conditions.
Day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads, wheel squat through lowering or load carrying, fitting wide profile tires or having ongoing adjustment capability for curb knock damage.
FRONT KIT PRECISELY CAMBER ADJUSTABLE (#502916-1i)at $345 (less then cost of one hi-performance tire)
Unique patented design allows precise single wrench adjustment to resolve costly, premature, edge tire wear. Accurately adjust (under load) direct on alignment rack.
Replacing the lower arm (highest wearing) inner control arm bushes (fit without need for arm removal).

These forward facing thrust arm bushes are also Monoball / Self aligning significantly improving brake and steering response yet like the OEM soft rubber and air voided bushes still allow arms to travel through their required suspension arcs without binding.

WOW! That's what, 3 tanks of gas a year? Hah! I'm rolling past 160,000kms (100,000 miles) any day now. It's at the dealer today to "fix everything" at 159,550km before the warranty goes *poof* after 159,999.
They are also doing a full inspection for an aftermarket warranty company. We will see how that goes.

Yeah, I dunno how many tanks of gas that would equate to per yr... I always just throw 5-7 gallons in her whenever she has a 1/4 tank left. This is what happens when you live in NY, you take the subway to work AND your wife's car is usually blocking yours in.
""fix everything" at 159,550km before the warranty goes *poof* after 159,999" Cutting it close, huh?!
So, what happens if they approve you for aftermarket insurance?... will you again hold on mods?!
