Uneven Tread Wear

I have had my Nitto INVOs for 7 months now and I notice that they are done. What I also noticed is that they (especially the back tires) seem to have worn out unevenly. One side of the tread still has something while the other side is gone. When I get new tires, how do I make sure that doesn't happen again? Is it alignment? I can't insert pictures from where I am but I will get them up later today.

is your car lowered? if your car is lowered, this will make your wheels camber in (negative camber) which will make the inner parts of the tire to wear faster. Alignment will help but if you are lowered, you might need to invest in aftermarket camber arms to fix the problem.

If you're lowered on Eibachs, you don't need camber kit, just alignment will do.

No it's not lowered. It is a completely standard S.

a simple alignment should be able to take care of that

Your alignment might be out of whack from the factory/dealer then.

A strong dip/hole or even hitting against the curb hard could throw your wheel alignment off. Get us an alignment sheet if you can
