Drop my 2000 CLK430 down with H&R spring for 1 month and half and the brand new rear tires are now bald [xx(]
The weird thing is that it's worn out right in the middle (like too much air pressure), but air pressure is right. The ride is crappy. Does this mean I need to have camber arms (kit?)? What can I do to fix this please please please?
Is there any other reliable place to order this cheaper than www . k - mac . com . au??????
Can I just have the rear and NOT the front??
If they are wearing down the center, that would indicate too much pressure. What method do you use to determine that the air pressure is correct? If you're using the factory numbers, remember that number is a best compromise for cars with stock suspension and OEM tires. Just to be clear, that's brand new stock suspension, brand new tires and even then, it's a compromise.
If you use a a pyrometer, you'll be able to assess tire pressures, alignment settings, sway bar sizes, tire sizes, and wheel sizes. The results will be longer treadwear AND more grip. [:D]

RE: Rear tires wear out too fast !!!
I filled mine to the recomended pressure as soon as I put them on. I drove around the block and could see that the dust from the road did not adhere to at least an inch on either side of the tread. Dropped it down to 31.5 psi all around.

Stock rims (17"). Front tire 225x45x17. Rear 245x40x17. I am using the regular pressure gauge. The pressure I have for these rear tires is 32 (after driving), the same one I've been using. Everything is stock except the spring. Any other idea?
Check this....underinflated tires on wide tires generates more heat, thus expandinging the air molucules and consequently raising the pressure in your tire enough to wear out the center. [:)]
Whatever the case is, sometimes tire pressure gauges can be off, so double check it at the gas station. Also, if you are getting inner wear with uneven wear (patchy) which is noisy, then it could be a case of a bad shock(s).
