I think it is time

I think...it's time for a new set of tires haha. The effect of negative 2.5 camber. The 275/40 hankook ventus v12 lasted for exactly 2 months...that's pretty damn good

Wtf? Your alignment has to be screwed up, or you drive like speed racer. -2.5 camber is not that bad... And those hankooks last a while. Most of my friends run those with no issues.

Hahaha it was a toe bolt issue....it was never installed because the shop that I took it to decided to be lazy and didn't want to elongate the factory toe bolt hole. I bought it back to their attention and was given a reason of "safety issue if they drill the frame" It was my fault because I overlooked the installation. Lesson learned.

As others have said, that has (close to) nothing to do with the camber. His toe was way out of spec.

at -2.5 camber your stock toe bolts can still be adjusted. your alignment guy probably never adjusted your toe period. i'm running -2.6 camber on factory toe bolts and my tires still looks new after 6 months.
