Default Ideal Alignment settings....

I am going in for an alignment and need to know what to tell the tech. I do not autocross or do any real other performance driving. My priority is tire wear and smooth ride. Most of my driving is 70mph highway (90%).

I am using 17X9.5 wheels and 275X40X17 tires.

What is best setting for camber, caster, toe...etc?

Thanks

Are you noting any wear problems? Also, are your tires / wheels factory?
Do you think that plus size wheels effect alignment specs.?
