The E36 shreds the inside of rear tires at -2* but I don't know if that's because of the camber or the factory toe-in. All the tire-chirping-shifts back in my youthful days also may have been a contributing factor. I wonder how my current alignment would treat tires over 10-20k miles. It's something like -3.5+ in the front, that can't be good for tires. :lol:

To illustrate a point, my convertible daily had -3.2 degrees up front with maxxed in the rear (about -2). zero toe all the way around. Never had abnormal wear.

If you are never hitting curves, minimize camber, and you can use a bit more toe as it will help the car track straight.

I actually ya know...use my cars. So I max camber, zero out toe and it all evens out between the spirited driving/highway driving/autox. Never corded a tie on the inside since my gsx days.
