Man you must have bad toe up front. That's not ridiculous camber to cause problems with as little driving as you do.

But yeah, just throw Travis' tires on there.

I have pretty bad camber wear right now, as my car's daily driven and with about -3º camber in the front. I have so little tread on the outside, I don't know if I should flip them side to side or not.

I had bad toe up front once, and didn't check the insides of my front tires. Also forgot to rotate them side to side.

Thanks for the offer and idea Travis ! I'll have to do this come Jan.

And I think Stu might be right....it could be my toe setting that is off. I will have to get it checked out.

I'm thinking of going to that AWD place in Flo-Mo / Highland village on 407...Don't they do 4 wheel alignments ? Or is that Cobb ?

Also, I know someone here has done a CHL test. How was it? I'm signed up for December.
I went to someone who got us out of there in 3.5 hours I'm sure that's not the "right" way, but I didn't mind it.

I'm a bit further away than Scott, but he gave me his schematics and I built an alignment tool. If Scott is busy I'm willing to help you guys out. I'll be installing those front tires and rechecking alignment/toe this week.
