I am an instructor in wheel alignment and geometry theory, the tyre wear issues
in the forum fall into the realm of enlightenment i teach and preach every day?
Most tyre wear problems are descibed as wheel alignment problems and are
addressed by the same means of corretion (wrong) any form of measerment must
be a full wheel geometry so all or any figures are globle, front wheel alignment is
one of over 15 angles that support the cars geometry, and in many cases may be
found to be wrong if tyre wear is noticed, but since all the geometry angles of the
car are shared there will be an influance between them, example being, if camber
leans, it's points of aplication means it will also toe, so if the toe (wheel alignment)
is measured and corrected this will still leave the camber issue, which can only be
detected on a full wheel geometry, lexus in the maurfactering found that the cars
geomatry will not stay stable, and will be subject to correction, all this said and done, there is no such than as a setting for any angle in any geometry?, all figures
offerd by lexus are purley a suggestion and need to be customized applying tolerances within the range lexus calutate, this means my driving style, weight,
area, speed, maintenance differ from yours, then so must the geometry, one more thing the geometry angles dont care what make of tyre you use, the only differance will be the cost of the loss???
