looks hot. your back wheels look like they have alot of camber on them, that will wear out your tyres a lot quicker.

I thought it was toe that wrecked tyres, not camber?

The more camber you have whether it be positive or negative means the tyre is angled either in or out when looking at it top down, so as a result more load is placed on either the inside or outside edge. Commodores run too much neg and chew em out.

Too much toe in or out means the tyres are fighting each other so that chews em too, so if you look top down again both tyres would be turned in or out a bit (TOE IN/TOE OUT)
