Hey ya'll,
I just recently put two fresh tires on the back of this Camry I'm driving. They both had irreparable flats, a week apart. Well, I'm trying to get the most out of what's left of the fronts. The tread looks good except the very inside edge. I'm talking the first 1" of the tread blocks.

If I get new tires, that also means an alignment. No funds for that right now.

So, I'm hoping I can make a small adjustment to the front end to extend the life of my tires until I can buy new ones. The tires look straight up and down. I can't see them being so out of camber that it would cause the wear. I was wondering if maybe toe out would cause this.

The car drives great at all speeds though. lol
Dunno, just trying to use the rest of the tire cause it's got a lot of life left.
I've got more wear than this guy!

Finally put tires up front and got the alignment done. Funky tires are in back. Wearing them out for now. When I need to move front tires back, I'll get new ones to replace the rears.

New fronts are bi-directional, rears are uni. Like a fancy tire for a camry lol
