Tire wear on outside edge of rear tire on 1988 300E.
I have quite a bit of tire wear on the outside of my right rear tire on my 300e. The car is lowered and has quite a bit of negative camber. Could this be caused by cornering to fast? Maybe spinning my tires to much? I wouldn't think that my outside edge would wear, with as much negative camber as I have (approx 2 degrees). I had an alignment done when I put the new wheels and tires on the car. Is it just my driving style or is there something else wrong?

What are the toe measurements like at the back? Too much toe in causes wear on the outside of the tires. Most rear suspensions are designed to toe in when compressed - it adds stability to the rear end of the car during cornering and acceleration. So you may have too much toe from lowering the car.
