Thanks thstone. Saw that thread too. You certainly punished those tires.

I assume with normal alignment my camber will be 0, and with max negative camber -1.25, the tire wheel will look somewhat like this /----\ which causes premature wear on the inside of the tire if you're not turning hard enough to transfer enough weight to the outside. Is there any reason I shouldn't just get 'max negative camber' beside the reason above ? I'm not planning that many street miles.

Or perhaps I should just ask for "a little bit of negative camber" .. perhaps -.5 or -.75 ?

Also is camber the only adjustment ( and only applies to the front ) ?

And if I recall correctly, I've seen people at AX measuring the inside / center / outside temp of their tires .. never understood why .. but I'm guessing now that its to determine how much tire they're using and if they need to add / remove camber ?

Sorry for all these questions .. as I said .. I'm a newb .. LOL
