    I'm blaming the tyre, but the people who put them on recommended these tyres so wouldnt suprise me if they did an alignment wrong too, lol. I dont know how bad it is, but I just hope they last another 2 months (5000Ks) cause I have rego, racq, electricity bills all due this month so I cant afford $1500 on tyres, lol.
    Is your Gen1 lowered too? If you lower it and don't correct the camber/toe/castor for the new geometry it's pretty likely you wear the arse out of your tyres...

    the original issue with the inside tyres wearing excessively is have a poor alignment with toe out.
    on a fwd car like mpss, you should have toe in of about 0.5mm to 0.7mm.

    having -1.0d camber on the fronts and -2.0d camber on the rears is common practice these days for performance fwd cars.

    also remember that just because you have a new car, that you do not need to get wheel alignments. you do! also most dealerships cannot do wheel alignments. so don't think it is included as part of your servicing. you will need to go to a 3rd party shop to get them done.
