Alignment BS-**-

[URSquattro]

So, I know this has been discussed before, so I appologize for bringing it up again......
I am lowered on ECS coilovers(basically zero wheel gap), running 18" 225/40s and I am having serious rear tire wear issues-despite having an "alignment" done.
This is the story- bought new Conti SportContact2 tires just so I could say I owned good tires once in my life.
Had the tires on for 6000km/3500 miles and tire wear was great, front to rear and side to side, even inner camber wear was basically non existant.
THENNNN
My father came from Europe with his wife, and we did a bunch of day trips and one longer haul(loaded-3ppl and luggage) around Georgian Bay and my rear tires got completely TOASTED!!!! Basically down to the wear bars. Now, Im not completely retarded SO
I realize that having the vehicle more, loaded full of ppl and luggage must change the ride height therefore change the toe-in quite a bit in a lowered state- But burn through a set of rear tires in LESS THAN 3200KM/2000miles is a little EXTREME! efffffff
let me know, maybe I just have had a brutal alignment- or really there is nothing that can be done due to such drastic toe-in change due to slight ride height change but already being quite low to begin with?

Thanks for any help, or input

As you stated you had an "alignment" done, so assuming your camber and toe settings weren't already set at a 'brutal' level for close-to-average street use, this doesn't seem unreasonable to have worn a good set of(meaning [I]soft[I]) tires down in 2k miles. Further compressing the suspension would, as you stated, increase toe-in, but would also increase negative-camber thus limiting your contact patch to a narrower margin of the inside of the tire. Add to this the increased weight of passengers + luggage and you have a bad recipe for wear under "normal driving". Had you given your occupants more of a thrill ride thru the twisties you would have still worn the tires, but more evenly! :)
