looks like toe is out bad then.
the car isn't lower, but I did swap in a larger rear 19mm from a 12mm sway bar.
its the rear tires. the inner shoulders are worn.
then I threw on a lower rear tie bar.
I had the larger sway bar on for a long time now... close to a year. So that may be it then.
its slowly been going away.. then maybe the recent lower rear tie bar did it.
so I should wait till I get new tires then do the alignment?
I'm just wondering should I worry about the tires? safety issues?
As I said anytime you change a suspension part or just loosen it you need to get the car aligned. Even just a 1/8" change in toe can be enough to accelerate wear on your tires.
What I would do if you want to save money is flip the tires on the rims. That way now the inside edge is the outside edge and the left tire is now the right side. While you are getting the tires flipped get an alignment too.
I'm lowered 2" with 2.5 negative camber in the front and 1.5 in the rear and all last year I ran with 1.5 negative front and 2.2 rear and my tires wore evenly - got about 20K miles out of my Falken Azenis. It's toe that will kill your tires more.
