Only on the rear. The guy I bought it from put cheap general tires up front just to sell the car. He had it lowered and the inside edges wore out due to negative camber. I have new adjustable front suspension arms so I can lower it back down and adjust camber to fix the tire wear issue. Actually, I'll have racewerks do an alignment. Are the goodyears better than michelin ps2's, in your opinion?

I agree but excess negative camber makes the tires much more sensitive to a precise toe setting.. you notice the bad effects much sooner because the wear is concentrated at the inner edges. They guys at racewerks liked the adjustable arms on my last S4 and did a great alignment job with them. I had absolutely no strange tire wear up to when I sold the car.
