Have your tires flip flopped.

You've only had these for a month? Is it the fronts or the rears? Also, did you get an alignment after you put them on?

If you got the alignment before the wheels were put on then you need to do it again.

I would suggest a camber kit.

WHat size are your wheels and do you have any spacers?

I have Eibach with 20" wheels and I only have minor wear on the inner edge of all 4 tires. This is with about 23-25K miles. Alignment done 2 weeks after putting the wheels on and without spacers, no camber kits however.

Yeah as soon as you adjust anything on the suspension you need to get alignment done. Most likely you altered your toe and that is what is eating your tires. That little bit of neg camber wont chew through tires that fast unless your toe is off. Does the rubber look feathered at all where it is worn?

Camber kit. My eibachs trashed the inside of my stockers after like 10k miles (been a while). Got a camber kit and new tires and no more issues.

try getting an alignment to minimize inner tire wear. if you want perfectly even tire wear, camber kits will be your only option.

So are you guys saying I need to get an alignment when I get my wheels? I thought alignments are only required for suspension mods?
