What a difference!

So I go to the tire shop and check the pressure on all four. Had 32 and I put 8. U might think 40 is too high, but it rides great, better handling, better response, +1 mpg on city driving to an astonishing 16mpg(it sucks). This test was done on style 168 20" wheels

You have zero camber? Can you provide a link if there is one? I'm about to buy new rear UPPER control arms to make up for the wear my existing control arms...

But I ask because my Indy shop tells me that the adjustment isn't available to be true zero camber.

Plus they tell my my X would "wonder" all over the road if it was zero. True?
How does yours handle?

Front: 275/40 R 20 102 W - 32/33
Rear: 315/35 R 20 106 W - 35/39

Depending on Load as per manual, so should'nt the rears be more than the front?...just wondering (say 38/40). I want to try the same and see if i can up the mpg.
