    Question about tire wear...

    So I realized last week that I really needed to rotate my tires on my DD, and finally got around to it today. I had the car aligned last year, the tires are Yokohama Avid H4S, also got them last summer. Now, I would consider my driving 'spirited' - as I live on some back roads in Oakton (VA), but this tire wear is rather alarming:






    its only concave like that in one section of the tire, not the whole circumference. I'm guessing that my camber is a little off, but why the divot?

      I need more information. Is that a front or back tire? Is the suspension stock or modified (and if what mods)? From the pictures it looks like the wear is on the inside edge, correct?
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          toe out and camber killed it.

            toe is the alignment between the front and rear of the tire correct?

                    Alignment and proper tire inflation.

                        Something broken/bent, you did suspension work to it without an alignment after, wear on components.
