    they are what they are, sorry to hear about the front bumper

    paint the rebar gold and I think you've got a winning look though

    No it doesn't. Camber by itself will not eat a tire up in that amount of time. Toe will though. Toe out of wack can kill a tire in that amount of time... or faster.


    Something else is going on if you killed them that quick. MAYBE if you were setup for an extremely performance oriented alignment and also went with the Kumho XS. Otherwise something is going on.

    Contisports last a long time because they are hard as a rock. Like Fuzion. Hard tire means longer life. Use a decent tire and add in an alignment that won't eat tires and even a Pilot Sport/AD008/etc can last 12-15K.

                        Ouch dude, that sucks. How big are those wheels? Without the front bumper they look even larger

                          He had wood boards so on wasn't too bad. Off I pretty much had the lip caught on the truck bed but the car had to come off so I guess the bumper wanted to as well!

                            alignment would hve kept that from happening. toe kills tires fast
