    Tire wear

    So my tires are wearing a shit ton on the outside, and the inside has barely any wear at all. I got my car aligned a couple months back and they set the camber at -2 in the rear. What could cause my tires to only wear on the outside? (I only drift this car - no street use at all). The wheels have play in them when pushed and pulled while still on the car, could that be bad wheels bearings that allow the car to have positive camber in drift?

    You're talking about rear right? What's your toe? You could just be squatting that much that you're wearing on the outside.

    odd. I'm at -1 in the rear and still wear the insides more, what are the rest of your alignment settings?

    An alignment does not mean much, if there is play in the rear. Fix the play, and have a new alignment.
