My car was off from the factory. Went through a set of tires and the warranty before I figured it out. I thought it was just a horrible car to drive straight! Drives wonderful now with no tramming or wet road scariness.

So what numbers are we looking for in a correct alignment? 3 of the 4 tires are wearing evenly and the inside right front had belts showing. Around 12k miles. Bad alignment was not noticeable with the naked eye. I want a streetable alignment but not where the car floats when hammering it down the highway like i have read in a few posts.

Right front tire
