SORRY!!! (sorry for the caps too!) ....I AM dramatic!

Beav, I stated the wear was severe ....and on the inside edges of the rear tires ONLY! Down to the fabric on both....and steel on one of them [after 13,000 total miles]. I don't have the tires now to give a detailed analysis of the type of specific inside edge wear, but the rest of the tire appeared normal ....to the uneducated casual observer. YES, I said the alignment was checked and adjusted (except rear camber of course) by very reputable brake/tire service shop in my area. THANKS for your continued help!

P.S. I re-entered the question, when I received no quick response! I thought there was a delayed response to my first query, but i see the dates indicate otherwise???...sorry!

P.P.S. So....You don't agree with Mobtslszco(?) that the settings should be camber -0.6 and toe 0 degrees?
