I have owned two AMG 63 s, my 2014 to 212 I did the Mercedes Benz factory camber bolts and got rid of one degree of camber which original specs I believe show 1.9 always add inside where and wasted tires, my 2001 2021 wagon as was doing the same thing before I sold it, hated the seats extremely uncomfortable transmission did weird stuff . Does everybody have the same problem.I have a new 2023 coming and I’m hoping not to put up with that **** ,total waste of tires.Does anybody know for a fact why they did not build a 2022?

I had over 27000 miles on my Bridgestone A/S Potenza tires on my 2018 E63S and did not see dramatic wear on the inner front tire tread. I was usually driving in individual mode with the Sport engine calibration, but Comfort suspension. Using the default Sport setting lowers the car a bit. I wonder if that is why i didn’t see the tire wear that others have documented. I have Michelin PS4 A/S tires on my 2021 E63S wagon and the side to side tread wear is even based on the most recent inspection at 11000 miles.

I run my suspension in S+ 99% of the time and have no inner tire wear - 37K thus far. Just.my 2 cents.

So, why do some forum members have significant wear issues and others don't? Perhaps, a lot of spirited driving?

my service advisor said I made way too many left hand turns, thus resulting in my right inner tires to wear a lot more than the left tires. LOL.

Makes sense.

I've read that unless you have extreme camber settings, that the toe settings are much more important to affect even tire wear.

y'all need to zero out your toe.

It is all to do with OEM only providing Toe (directional) adjustment !

Cost cutting and ever increasing speed of auto assembly lines means Camber and Caster adjustment to resolve costly premature edge tire wear has been deleted.

No longer adjustment to cater for day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads where right hand tires have excess edge wear.

Or wheel squat through load carrying or lowering, fitting wide profile tires, along with curb knock damage.

ALIGN TECH CAN TRY ALL HE WANTS ADJUSTING TOE BUT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT IS ESSENTIAL ALLOWING TO "ADJUST TIRE CONTACT ANGLES SPREAD LOAD MORE EVENLY".

Tech can only excuse the situation by advising is "within factory specs" - As he having no ability to carry out Camber adjustment to correctly compensate for the excess edge wear !!

Much to frustration of owners then going from one dealer or align shop to the next or resorting to changing tire brands believing some how this could resolve the uneven wear.

We saw the need therefore to "FIX IT RIGHT THE 1ST. TIME". Providing Front Camber and Caster. Rear Camber (and extra Toe) adjustment.
