Mine are tilted in 5/16" at the lip at the bead (I measured). But there is no uneven wear. |
Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
Should I try a wheel alignment? The car does not pull left or right. I drives smoothly

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
Could try another shop for a 2nd check - also check your air pressure.

Has your car been lowered? Does it have "spacers" to give the wheel an offset?

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
Mine has a similar tilt, but I do not have uneven tread wear. I don't know what to tell you.

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
its called camber wear. get the alignment check again but by someone else lol. and do it soon or you are going to need new tires.

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
Mine are tipped in as well and if you do a measurement there is some additional wear on the insde of the tire. I had them checked and was told that's the way it was designed and yes we would wear our tires at a uneven rate.

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
Yes, the inward cant or tilt is intentional and normal on your Crossfire. I think it's 2 or 3 degrees, but I'd have to look it up again to be sure. You'll find this handling adjustment to be more common on sports cars. Yes it can cause the tires to wear a bit more on the edge, but generally not a lot. Chalk it up to a small piece of the cost of owning a sports car! :D

Thanks guys for all your help

Re: Rear tires looks tilted inwards
your eyes will barely notice 2 -3 degrees. if it is as noticable as you say then there is something wrong. it is supposed to have some camber yes...it is to help the car track better but keep it subtle so as to not rip through tires.

That's negative camber and is present on ALL cars with IRS(Independant Rear Suspension) and is normal.
