    Is the right hand side of that picture the inside of the wheel? If so then you are running too much neg. Great for the track, but it will wear the inner edge of the tyres out quick. Have you used the Ktec camber bolts to add neg? If so then dial some out and you'll get more life from the tyres.

    i'd say the way the tyre is peeling up towards the middle the tracking should sort it...

    As lee says it may be the toe thats the issue as well as the camber as they are feathering as well by the looks of it, defo needs a full track and camber set-up.
