well, by looking at the tread wear, you alignment is purposely set for touge, huh  brows.gif , more stability on fast corner but some sacrifice on inner sidewall wear due to uneven weight distribution. hence, inner sidewall crack. this happened to any tires with such setting. even my asymmetric had the same problem.

oops someone spotted it laugh.gif

btw i also have my camber around negative 1-1.5ish, wonder if i'll face the same problems for my c drive 2... supposedly shouldn't considering its a very soft tire ><

due to the uneven weight distribution, driven over prolonged time, inner sidewall will be softer / more wear than the outer. after 6 months, if you remove the wheels, it will not stay still but sway and drop towards the inner sidewall direction. its dangerous to swap it from rear to front. during cold start up temperature, front end may sway excessively upon minimal steering input.

hmm been using the tires for around a year ady with the same camber settings
will really need to try out the tire dropping part

also, if i cant swap front/rear, how am i supposed to rotate the tires properly? (been doing rotations as normal ~every 10k km sweat.gif )

its not that you can't swap but be careful not to drive fast in corner during cold start up where tires is not at its optimum operation temperature yet.

oh so that's the only complications. no probs on that since i rarely ever whack the car while the temperature meter haven't rise till its optimal operating temp. laugh.gif
