Remember my gold wheels? Those were stretched on FK452. Only problem with that tire is the inside wears out way too fast. Within a month of use the inner tire are close to gone. That's why I didn't go back to FK452 and went with S Drives. So far the wear is minimal. Pretty good tires for the price.
How much toe? Toe is what destroys tires, not camber. A month is really excessive...

I'm running the HKS CAMP2. They can measure all of the vital stuff like. EGT,oil temp,oil pressure,boost,fuel pressure,engine temp. Those are optional sensor that you'll need to buy. Some other stuff like rev,speed,ign,water,voltage and some others comes basic plug and play with the camp2. You should check it out for more info.

Most RWD cars run a bit of toe-in on the rear for stability.

I was under my car sunday doing my oil and took a look at my tires.. No signs of wear on the FK's inside.. Although I've only had them a month with like 1000 miles on them.

When I bought my wheels they came with V12's and the guy before me was slammed on JIC's like Eric is. The V12's seemed a little softer to me compared to the FK's, however maybe they were on their way out from when I bought them. Maybe his wore down so quickly because he was running like -3 camber and too much toe in??

The FK's suck for wear. I went through a set in under 4000 miles with -1.5 degrees camber, and around 0.1 toe in (in think spec is under 0.09, so I was over spec slightly). Go with the V12's, or something better. I have the S-drives now and like them better than the FK's all the way around....

Something is seriously wrong in your setup. That's closer to expected mileage on r-comps.

Thanks for the reassurance mike... Cause if that were true my tires are about 25% dead already with the 1000 miles I have on them so far.
