Default Tire inner wear

Hey guys so I have the SR 1.5 lowering springs about a year now and I have notice the inside of my tire is wearing out faster I think on all 4 tires! Any suggestions what can I buy to stop this?

Did you get an alignment done after the springs were installed?

Your camber is off, affecting the tire wear on the inside. You need an alignment.

You need to get camber bolts to correct the camber issue. Lowing throws tire camber off on the front.

even without lowering you should get an alignment done when going to tires wider than stock.. Thats how I wore out my inner tread about 3x as fast as the rest of the tire.

I had friends help install my Eibach pro-kit lowering springs (1.3" front - 1.5" rear) and had my alignment done, after the springs settled. I did not experience any wear issues with my tires. I would recommend starting with an alignment. The specs will let you know if camber plates/bolts are needed.

You should have an alignment done any time you install anything new on the front suspension; even changing struts will affect alignment. You may find that camber is within spec, but toe is off.
