Have you had an alignment done?Before you go spending money on something you don't need,make sure the problem is the camber,which it more than likely isn't.It's a very good chance your toe angle is off.a misaligned toe angle will wear out tires way faster than too much camber.

yea i had the car aligned like a year ago. i was in desperate need of 4 new tires, but i could only afford to buy 2. the front needed the new tires so thats where i slapped them. the front tires i bought new were the only ones that seemed to be eaten from the inside of the tire before i replaced them yesterday. the other 2 in the back were beaten up used seemed to wear evenly after the alignment. plus i never rotated any of them at all after when i had it aligned they told me that my accord has no adjustment for camber i have the specs right here: tell me what you think from the last aligment. those guys probably did a crappy A** job
