Taking the PS4S Plung

First time buying such expensive tires, kinda hurts tbh lol.

Anyway, so I am having to buy front tires due to excessive camber wear. The rest of the tread is worn but could probably last me until September. The rears seem to be fine. I am stock height, with front wheel specs 8.5 +35 20 inch and rear at 10 +38 20 inch.

My question is, do I need a front camber kit to really extend the life of my tires? I already have a rear camber kit waiting to install in the next day or so.

Good choice! There's another thread about this tire. You won't be disappointed.

If you're at stock height, you shouldn't have camber issues. Maybe toe is out of spec up front? That'll wear the inside edge of the tire.

To be clear, you don't have any suspension mods currently, correct?

Correct. Stock suspension. The fronts have spacers to clear akebonos.

Your Toe is definitely off! Stock front camber arms are non-adjustable

lol I don't drive crazy in public roads to be honest. Today was the first day I've noticed a significant decrease in traction.

So looks like I need front camber arms as well?

Shouldn't need front camber arms if you haven't altered your suspension geometry, if your toe is out of spec, and it would seem to be, just a simple alignment is all that should be needed. The toe is fully adjustable through the tie rods so they can get that into spec no problem.
