A rear tire with 0.01 toe in AND mid-camber will wear LESS than a rear tire at 0.00 camber and (BMWs middle toe) of 0.08

This is based on many many members experiences following my recommendations. Posted in my sig over on BF.

I never said that "more toe" wouldn't lead to more wear. Toe causes wear, that's a fact.

You stated: "Recognize that toe is a far larger contributor to tire wear than camber....."

A blanket statement like that is FACTUALLY NOT TRUE

Both you and josiahg52 are basing your statements on observations which is anecdotal at best.

I'm stating how toe, camber, and caster on there own, or together, effect tire wear based on the GEOMETRY of the suspension components.

The fact that either of you are arguing with me just demonstrates you don't fully understand it all.
