Tire Wear - how to "not wear" so much?
Car Specs: 2015 MCS, OEM wheels, 20mm WMW spacers. Not sure when the last alignment was done ( Yea, not good I know )
So while under the car the other day doing the oil change, I noticed that the front tires were a little worn on the insides.... OK, ALOT of worn on the inside.
Aside from rotating ( like one should every 5K miles to which it shows I didn't... ) how can you go about not having the car eat the inside of your tires?
New tires have been installed and balanced ( twice now to get it right ) and am wondering what other things I can do to make sure this does not happen again. I also got an alignment, but the guy at the Big-O was saying something about a special tool for the rears and would have to go back being they didn't have one and while it was close, he'd like to get it w/in spec... BS or...?

I'm not sure, but I think the 20mm spacers are not helping ... that's pretty significant on these cars. As for managing wear, besides alignment, regular rotation and keeping pressure within specs. I got over 32,000 miles out of a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires just by keeping pressures correct and regular rotations.
