I need to be able to do this. I just went through 2 new tires in like 2 months. I know it has to do with my will to lose traction every chance I get, but, it shouldn't of been that bad.

The outside half of the tire looks brand new, while the inside looks like drag radials.

What do I have to buy to be able to adjust this?

Car = S14.

i went through 4 tires in two months because of HORRIBLE alignment, rucas and toe arms are your friend, camber control go with rucas, toe obviously toe arms

My toe isn't that bad. Camber is a killer.

I was going to flip the tire but I wasn't aware of the wear until I got it on the lift at school to change my clutch. It was far to late by then. I mean, you couldn't even see it unless it was on the lift. Look.

camber doesn't kill tires as much as toe.
go get your car aligned.

Excessive Toe

Excessive toe-in/positive toe results in outside edge wear of the tire
Excessive toe-out/negative toe results in inside edge wear of the tire
Toe is easily adjusted on most vehicle steer axlesExcessive Camber

Excessive positive camber: smooth wear patterns on the outer half of the tire tread
Excessive negative camber: smooth wear patterns on the inner half of the tire treadExcessive Scrub

Excessive scrub results in inside/outside steer axle tire wear patterns
Affects all tires on the vehicle

I'll align it at school asap. They have been moving the lefts around and adding new ones so it has been out of commission for a while.

It's not that low. I'll take pics tomorrow.

bet you have at least 1/2" of toe out. camber alone wont cause carnage like that.
