Tacoma 2020 positive camber

I have a stock 2020 Tacoma trd off-road with about 20 k on it pretty new but I’ve noticed my tire have a positive camber and it really noticeable I’ve got alignments done at Toyota and they say it all to spec but my tire treads are wearing unevenly does anyone know what I could do to fix it

 

If you don’t rotate your tires correctly you should see negative camber on the tire ware. But in saying that it will always depend on the psi you are running and how hard you corner. Without posting the actual spec of your alignment there is not much anyone can comment on.

 

If I remember correctly, the alignment sheet I got when I did my lift said +1.3 was the positive end of the “in spec” range. Seeing how shitty some techs are, they would probably leave it alone even if it’s at +1.2, because that’s still in range. On a 30 plus inch tire, that can definitely be picked up with the naked eye. Maybe ask for the print out with the actual numbers, as mentioned above?

 

My toes are pointing into the car that’s what I notice I have the print out I’m trying to see how to get the picture on here I’m new

 

I also ended up with .8 camber after aligning with 2” lift and 265 75 r16 tire

would that be ok? What I do not like is that the .8 it is noticeable.. doing chalk test on tires to see how tires would wear… definitely don’t want to wear prematurely the outter edge..

 

positive camber will reduce your truck's wandering and the tendancy of it to follow the grooves in the road. The positive camber alone is not an issue, what i've found in my experience is that more than 0.04" of total toe and the edge the camber is resting on will start to wear. so negative camber would be riding on the inside edge and positive camber on the outside edge. However, also in my experience is that due to the low camber design of these trucks 0.06" total toe drives the nicest. You really have to compromise when doing alignments on these trucks. I currently am running +0.6* camber on both sides, 2.25* caster left and 2.75* camber right and 0.05" total toe. I only notice the edge cupping when I don't rotate my tires with my oil change.

 

My numbers are:

L

camber: 0.08
Caster: 1.4
Toe: 0.05

r

camber: 0.08
Caster: 1.7
Toe: 0.05


Are this healthy numbers?

 

Ya they look seem fine, depending on what the roads are like where you live/ primarily highway or city I would of maybe added some more caster and a bigger split for highway driving because the truck probably wanders to the right a little if you let go of the wheel but otherwise no concern there. I wouldn't pay to get it realigned. If you really don't like the look, the least amount of camber that feels good in my opinion is +0.3* but I drive primarily highway, the roads here are deeply grooved from heavy trucks and I prefer the easier steering and better braking from positive Camber. If I lived in the mountains or somewhere with alot of curvy roads I'd probably try -0.25* or maybe even -0.5* camber for the advantages associated with cornering.

Bottom line is if you are concerned something is wrong, it's not. These trucks are spec'd to have the tires pointed like that. If it's visually bothering you can get another alignment and ask them to maybe only put +0.3* of camber on both sides

 

Thanks man! I realized I had basically zero knowledge about alignment until I started reading about it.. my primarily concern is/was premature wear on front tires.. I am on top of air pressure now with new tires and I’ll be testing different tire pressures and chalk test to see..

 

For sure, tires aren't cheap. I'd try driving it for maybe 10'000kms and you there is barely a difference in wear I'd just keep rotating and carry on. In my experience toe is the one that will eat your tires. The camber is just the edge you'll see it on. Play around with your tire pressures and see. I run stock 265/65r17 and i've found that under 32 psi my fuel economy tanks and over 32 psi the outer edge of my front tires start to cup and the truck rides rough. The rear matches my front unless i'm towing/ hauling. In that case 40psi always seems to feel nice to me
