C1 caster and amber with radial tires
Are the values quoted in the ST12 also correct for radial tires ?
On my car, i have currently following adjustment:
Camber = 0,36°/ 0.37°
Caster = 0,31° / 0.26°
Toe = 0.29° / 0.28°

I use the following specs for my alignments (with radials):
Camber: 0 degree +/- .25 degree
Caster: +2 degree +/- .5 degree
Toe in: 1/8" total (my chart tells me that equates to .26 degree total - you have slightly over that per side - slightly over 1/4" total, which would be slightly over the bias ply spec of 1/8" to 1/4").
Your caster readings are too low for good stable tracking.

But there are limits to how far you can adjust. On some cars, trying to just get to 1.5 degrees caster and anywhere near 0 camber can be impossible (won't know until you try).
Note that toe in must be rechecked / readjusted anytime caster / camber is changed.
