Default Alignment for SC430s

hi, my 02 sc430 tracks straight .... but at 30K, my Orig RFTs are wearing only at the inner tread....

are there any alignment issues regarding this car? any quirks/nuances, etc i should know about?

probably goto local discount tire... get the life time alignment deal...

appreciate any posts/comments regarding alignment...

Bear in mind that most cars that have front independent suspension don't get "alignments". It's a camber adjustment and each front wheel is done independently.

Default alignment

oh, i see.... the sc430 gets only a camber adjustment then?
what about toe, no caster for sure then ?

i'm wearing the inside only on both fronts... have 30K but the rest of the tire probably has another 15K easily... it's mostly freeway mileage....

i'm getting new michelin pilot sport and don't want them wearing out wrong too....

gonna take it do discount tire and have 'em check the alignment..... anything i should know??

Default 'alignment ' done

hi,
i just had my sc 'aligned'.... the toes were off.... neg. toe, therefore scrubbing the inner treads...
didn't change much on camber....
i paid $240. but it's life time alignment..... go back anytime i want to, to rechck.,etc....
