Default Tyre wear

Both front tyres have worn badly on the inside?
is something wrong or is it cornering?
car 06 WRX BC coilovers, 18'' wheels tyres are Falken 452

car handles really good

Thanks

i think it's a fair bet seen as it has coilovers on. the camber will be well out, i'm sure bc coilovers have adjustable top mounts.

take it to a specialist get it set up. (not kwikfit or the like)

yes it is lower
was set up when the coilovers were fitted (camber ect)
that was 7 months ago
will get it checked again
Thanks for the replies

As said,will be camber.
I run mine at 2 digrees negtive all round,and always suffer from inside tyre ware,but the improvment in cornering is worth it as its only a weekend toy.
If your doing lots of motorway miles its not worth the cost.
