Reading Treadwear....

[GreenBird]

Obvisously it was overinflated abit...but notice that the outside has more wear than the inside? Wouldn't this suggest I need more negative camber?

It's really hard to tell from the pics. I wouldn't necessarily say the tire was overinflated. It could be too wide of a tire for the rim. Outside tire wear would be due to positive camber or toe-in.

It's fairly normal for the outside to be worn a bit more than the inside for a front tire. Without actually measuring, the inside and outside depths look roughly equal. I'd be more concerned about getting the pressure down a bit to keep the middle wear down. Otherwise it looks like decent wear to me!

It is a 225/60-15 on a 6" wide rim. stretching it abit but still acceptable IMHO.

Looks normal to me. The inside appears to be wearing more then the outside, prolly from higher psi.

Burnouts tend wear the center more. Outer wear is caused by understeer while cornering if the tires are mounted on the front.

If burnouts weren't the cause then it is definitely over-inflation. This is typically a problem in the rear. The front will generally were more on the edges. If you rotate the tires every 5k or so and keep the pressures 6-8 lbs lower in the rear than the front while keeping the fronts at near maximum inflation pressure you will end up with very evenly wore tires.

Actually, hard acceleration (not spinning) will also wear the center of the tread. doh
