Inner tire wear on rear tires for 335 sport normal?

samsamwu · 10-26-2010, 07:30 PM

alignment setting on 335 sport rear tires are -1.58 to -2.08 degrees
this is pretty extreme, so does this mean that all of us have inner tire wear on our rear tires, I imagine this is the case but I wanted to hear others experiences also

Yes. Unless you have modified the suspension to take out some of the lean.

If you reduce the amount od toe in you will have less tire wear. I run -1.3* camber and .1 toe in per side and have no tire wear issues.

I have been told yes it is normal due to the rear wheels 2.5 camber on my Z4 35i also due to the retractable roof (and some luggage when going on a trip) in the in the trunk. Tire Shop and BMW told me to inflate rear tires 10% above recommended tire pressure.

Camber doesn't kill tires TOE does. If you change your to to .1 or .05 on each side you will be fine.
