Caution Model X, Hidden Tire Wear

[towndrunk]

$200 for two laser cut shims? That's highway robbery!

You can buy a box of stainless steel shims on eBay for $24 and get your camber to anywhere you want. You'd still need longer bolts tho.

My wife has a 2020 MX the tires were replaced in Nov 2023, and now the end of May 2024 only 7k miles the rear shows metal. There's the Continental Conti Extreme.
We are going to put the N2itive, hopefully that will extend the life of the tires.

Print out the alignment specs that N2itive provides and make sure you find an independent shop that will align it to N2itive's specs. Extra points if its a lifetime alignment (only $100 more), so you can get it realigned 5000 miles later for free when they didn't quite get it right the first time.

Apparently you don't need longer bolts for the .25"

My rears on my 22 MXLR are by far way worse than my fronts. My fronts have decent life left on it. Any downsides on just replacing the rears? Car is at about 24K miles.

I think as long as you replace both rears you are good to go. Just had a new tire put on the front from road damage at 20k miles and they even said I was on the border for replacing the other side, but I decided to go for it.
