I have a 99 eclipe gst and my three month old Fluda tires in the rear are going bald on the outside half. I havn't lowered my eclipse or done anyting to the suspension. Does anyone know the cause of my problem? do I need a camber kit or something?

Your back wheels are "toed out" meaning they need to be adjusted and aligned...

yea wear on one side probably means you have a camber issue. but also what pressure do you keep your tires at? i kno the car reccomends 32 /29psi but thats way too low for any high performance soft tire. i kno for my falkens and for my toyos i have always kept my pressure at around 38/35 so they will wear evenly
