I recently had a alignment done on my 94 NSX. The front right tire was wearing on the inside edge. What has me conserned is that the shop had the same alignment specs for 91-02 NSX's. I asked hime to take some of the toe out because I do not track the car and want my tires to last longer. I looked on NSXPRIME and all I could find was specs in metric. Here are my specs.

I'm having a few alignment issues as well.

but my front camber is at -1.0 and rear is at -2.0 degrees.

Caster 7.5

toe slightly positive in front and zero in rear.

by the way, I'm the guy that is friends with Rodney that use to have that SL500 with the 19" AMG's...maybe we should meet up some time. email me if interested.

It's very common for BOTH front tires to wear on the inside edges. That's because the normal NSX alignment, with toe in one direction in the front and the other in the rear, is designed to maximize precise cornering. It's also designed with the expectation that the car will be driven fairly aggressively at least some of the time.

I would worry about the front tire that's NOT wearing faster on the inside edge.

That's correct. All years NSX have the same recommended alignment spec. Acura had a different alignment spec when the NSX came out in '91, but in '93 they changed their recommendation (to reduce rear toe for greater rear tire life) and made it retroactive for all years.

That's normally done in the rear only, and has nothing to do with your front tire wear.
