It seem's like it drive's good..but I concerned with the inner part of the tire's wearing.I told them to get the camber as close to 0 as possible and these are the result's. Are these good or should I bring it back!

I printed those same specs and handed it to them...but they also had there Hunter specs. I have a funny feeling they didn't want to be bothered fine tuning it!

You are not going to wear any tires with those settings. They are very mild. I run -2.0* of camber on the front and don;t show any wear, so I think you will be fine.

Those are great settings for "stock" numbers but for long tire mileage the camber should be closer to 0.

my guess is the toe was off and thats where the wear was coming from. Setting it at zero is great.
The camber which i doubt they adjusted at all (it takes like 2 minutes and once its loose you can be set to any spec you want very simply,so the camber NOT being at zero which you asked tells me it wasnt touched, IMOP) otherwise your main concern is taken care of. paul

Actually I didn't have any tire wear...only 500 miles. This guy didn't know what he was doing!
