Location: bishop, ca		You've got some serious negative camber going on; don't you like those tires?

They won't be a-round, very long, at 'this' rate, Mike.

I know: the lousy camber is a consequence of slamming the suspension, but
still, those were nice looking tires.

Location: bishop, ca		I don't blame him for not wanting to drive it very much; it should corner very well, though.

The tire wear can be mitigated by adjusting the toe in, and rotating the tires every 500 miles.
