Hi,

Why do you call it agressive? Steering and Suspension Geometry is just that - Geometry. This means that if you alter a component, you've altered the Geometry and must compensate by also altering the Stock Factory settings (which were derived using the original components). If you try re-adjusting it back to Factory settings while retaining the AfterMarket components, incl. Tires and Wheels, you may end up with a poor Handling Car which eats your Tires at an accelerated pace.

If you're comfortable with the way it drives, leave it alone. Tire wear is the result of many other things besides suspension settings such as Driver Style, Driving type and mix - Highway/City/Rural, local road conditions, etc. Too little information has been provided to make an accurate diagnosis here...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
