I keep them at full pressure(except the deals gap trip). I dont understand it either. But everytime I get out of the car I can smell the tire which I find weird. They seem to get really hot just driving around, and I havent touched the outer 1inch or so of the tread. But Im almost to the wear bar on the inside. I havent checked the fronts though. I dont think they are that bad.

when i had a proper alignment i never smelled burned tired from casuall driving, and my camber (although i cant recall from the top of my head) was much more agressive then yours

what is your tire wear rating on them?(like where is says traction rating, and temp rating) i alway went with tires that were 300 and up so maybe thats why?

200. Only street tires I know of that are worse are Pilot Sport Cups, RE-O1R's and I think the higher end Advan Neovas.

I think the Highway is what killed them. 2x 10+ hour drives doing 70mph on mostly shitty pavement.

I run bridgestone SO-3 and they have a 220 rating. Very soft and fun in the rain but not good for too many miles if you have fun on the way to work everyday like I do.
