Earlier this year (february) I bought a set of tires. Today after checking it, i noticed both of my rears have excessive wear on the inside treads.
The wear was different from my previous set of tires as this time it was smooth. Last time the wear was contributed from a lack of camber kit and toe in, hence it has a characteristic of smooth then a bump smooth then a bump on the inner tread.
tires has less than 10k on them, lowered on RSR and KYBGr2. oh and RRE rear camber kit.
can the "Toe In" be a major contributor to this excessive premature wear? if so what else do i need to purchase to correct this problem? or can the alignment shop correct this for me in a 4 wheel alignment?

If it is improper toe, the aligment shop can usually fix it for you. Go to Discount Tire in El Monte (http://www.wheeloptions.com) and talk to Vick and tell him a friend referred you. He'll give you lifetime alignment for 99 or 109 bucks. I think it's worth it especially since one aligment usually costs around 50, and they can do lowered cars. Plus, it's valid at all discount tire centers...
