My tires popped! Please help!

[punky3do]

today i noticed my front right tire lookin a lil flat. As i drove it more...my alignment was off and kept steering to my left! As i changed lanes i felt something pop and i pulled over asap. I noticed my iner thread was completely pulled off! I had my car lowered a few months back and now that i notice, both of my front tires are bald! and i only bought the car last august! Dunlop tires are suppose to last longer than that! Well i think cuz my tires were runnin butterflied. Instead of my tired running like this |,,| |,,| they were runnin like this /,,/ \,,\ Jesus. I was planning to buy two used tires and rotating them out with my reer tires and gettin it align. But, my boss told me i need a camber kit? what should i do?

you need a camber kit.. how much did u lower your car? what kinda of car do you have? if you have a p5 anything over 1.5 inch drop will require some kind of adjustment.. apex i has camber plates for sale on here and i think 2k3mazdaspeed does as well. and if you are on adjustables and have it slammed all the way to the ground.. well you get my point.

APEXistud is the user and he is asking for 200 + shipping. you should pm and see what up with it.. it will save u money on tires in the long run.. trust me.. especially if u go to a larger more expensive tire. -uGh

as ask...how much did you lower your car? if you just lowered it using any of the standard springs on the market you shouldn't need camber plates....just a good alignment will do the trick.

hey...well i got my tires on...i got progress springs....and the drop is like 1.5 inches. what do u guys think?

Camber kit not needed for that drop. However, alignment definitely needed.
