    Don't take it your Mazda dealer to fix. They will say its normal for a 'sports car'. Take it to a tyre dealer/suspension place and get the camber/toe fixed or you're going to be spending a lot of money on tyres.

    camber wasn't too much of an issue on the Gen1 until you lowered. Think the Gen2 had issues irrespective of being lowered

    front is not camber adjustable. the rear is, but it changes with toe. so you need to get separate toe or camber adjusters.

    Default Cambering Issue's

    I don't have any problems with mine. I am up to nearly 50,000 ks and just on my second set of tyres. I have a gen II.. I got nearly 40,000 from first set and they were bald all over.

    My outer edges wear way faster than my inners.

    Directional tyres + regular rotations are the key. Assymetric tyres will always suffer from the inner wear issue.

    My car is my daily ride and family car so I drive sedately 90% of the time and I get a wheel alignment every 10000

    Either one of two things here...

    1. Your car has serious SERIOUS alignment issues and run on a third of the tyre tread at full weight....
    2. You like to make sure your wheels squeal at every opportunity, laying down a thick strip of rubber at every set of lights.

    Never heard someone going through tyres at that rate unless they're track tyres and is regularly raced etc.

    even then.... @Reedy has a set of AD08's, still managed 7 or so track days and 20,000+km out of a set...
    must be either really soft tires or REALLY bad wheel alignment...

    8 track days and 25 000km and they still have legal tread depth left.

    If you chew through a set of tyres in 7000km's then you need to stop doing skids. Even with a bad alignment they wont wear out that quickly unless you're putting them through some serious abuse.

    Wheel alignment is fine!! same as when i got the tyres put on earlier in the year!! also friend bought a brand new mps in jan this year and they have 8500km and same!! inside edge is totaly smooth!! I don't drive like a peanut, how ever i do give the mps a bit of stick every now and then.(no thick black strips at the lights)

    spoken to mazda they said "it's a sports car"
