Aside from not driving your car, have the car/suspension aligned if the wear is uneven. If it's even, it might just be the nature of the tire. What tires do you have?

Are you riding on oe springs or is the car lowered? Where on the tire is the wear occuring: outside/inside/evenly? Wear on the fronts only, rears only, only one tire? Give us some info to work with!

Go to a performance alignment shop, have your camber pins knocked out, and go for as much negative camber up front as possible. As "aggressive" as this sounds, it will improve your tire wear on the street and dial out a bit of the understeer as well.

Everyone agrees. If you search you'll see the same thing said over and over and over again.

I got prematurely worn rears.... I have proper alignement done at a race shop.. I think it's got something to do with my lead right foot... ha ha..

Kidding aside.. it's really expensive as my rears are almost worn to the thread bars and still at least 60-70% left on the fronts...
