Less Negative Camber for Street

My TT is burning thru rear street tires every 5-6K. Wearing out the innermost edge with plenty of tread left on the outside. How easy is it to get some of the negative camber taken out. The car is never tracked so I dont think I need an adjustable setup. What should I tell the shop to do? I would like to leave enough NC so the car is still safe at high speed but allows more even wear of the tires.

Take out a bunch of camber at the rear, it's just an adjustment. IMO keep some relative camber in the fronts, they're cheap and last twice as long as the rears anyways.

You're getting less than half what normal wear is in the rear.

Keep it at factory recommnded settings , don't go less than that. Check out your toe settings rather, that's what eats up more the tires.

Beej is infamous around these parts
Also, get symmetrical tread pattern tyres and have them reversed on the rims after say 4k miles, then you will get at least that much again before they are fully worn. Additionally, make sure you are running enough rear pressure at all times (44psi+). There's a lot of weight back there.

Cheers,

Beej
