2007 Mazda 3 excessive premature tire wear. At 30,000 miles I see that the front tires are worn to the point of steel band visible and sticking out. Inspection at 25,000 miles dealer said there was wear but not critical. The tread is separating and I am replacing tires immediately. I have learned that front suspension has excessive negative camber causing this.

I have had the dealer replace front end parts 2 times. First the front hub bearings. Then they had to replace the intermediate shaft also part of the front end. The car is 2007 with 37,000 miles. I have other cars with over 100,000 miles and never had to replace any of these parts.
