How do they (your dealer) explain the cupping on the inner edges of your tires if everything is within specs? Negative camber alone would not cause cupping, would it?

Just flip the tires on the wheels to put them inside out. I've done it twice and got 50K miles out of the first set and will get the same from my second set which currently hves 39,500 miles on them (my 2001 4.4i has 89,500 miles).

after my installing my last set of new rear tires I had the alignment done. 20k miles later the tires are worn almost completly even. I'm at stock ride height though.
