Can you see if she can do mine in Jan......because my tires have some camber wear on the insides and they will not pass me for that.

otherwise the tires are in good shape and have plenty of tread on them.

I remember those two guys, but forgot what their cars looked like.

Chris - You have camber wear on the V12s? I thought they were practically new?
