Nitto Invo Owners Chime In...

Hey guys, so after having my Invo's since October and putting about 4300 miles on them i have worn the rear insides down and there is a patch with the belt showing. I have the SPC camber kit and my camber is at 1.5 and 1.6 degrees for the rear tires.

I will go to the tire place where I got them and see if they can see why it would wear so fast, but has anyone else had issues with wear?

Its due to your toe and they are a soft tire...

Its probably a combination of things . Driving habits , camber,toe and the softness of the tire .. They make a tire for cars with camber issues .. Thats what im buying next ..

Btw did you get your hood in? I'm so jealous of all your mods

How many miles did you have on the car prior to installing the SPC Camber Kit?

Hahah, have you ever tried to do a burnout in our car? As soon as the car feels your going nowhere and your wheels are moving, it reduces power. I have no clue how the tires would wear so quickly. In the new video i poseted i could see there was tread at 1:29 when i zoom in on the wheel...

After that video i made a 1700 mile trip to LA and Las Vegas without harsh turns or anything!

having a negative camber can wear tires out very quickly. 4000 does seem fast. But some spirited driving, along with a soft compound tire may allow you to hit this mark. How dropped are you? Is the negative camber intentionally put on the car for tire fitment?

With that little of negative camber it doesn't seem right that your tires would only last 4300 miles. It sounds to me like your toe is out of spec. I would definitely get that checked out.
