Question about tire wear...

[1mz]

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?

[1mz]

oh, and is this someones car? I spotted it hiding near my house the other night on the way home from work, its a vert with painted weaves in oakton VA near lawyers road

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?

car is a 2002 Toyota solara, (FWD) that is the front drivers side tire, the car is lowered on Eibach Pro-Sports and Tokico blues

toe out and camber killed it.

[1mz]

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

[Danny]

yeah.

[1mz]

btw - not bad for a cellphone camera huh?

[1mz]

so how would I correct that?

[Danny]

Alignment and proper tire inflation.

[1mz]

damn... how would a car get so misaligned in a year?

[Danny]

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