        A032Rs are my front summer AND autox tire (they don't make 'em wide 
enough for the back of my MR2 :-(  )...  10k miles and counting!!!  Just 
now wearing through that first shallow "line" in the middle of the tread 
on the inside half of the tire.  Outside half still has it showing!  
Probably down to 5/32 of tread now?  Started with 6/32 (ummm, 
3/16 :-) ).  Was hoping for 15k miles of use before wear bars 
originally...  At this rate they're gonna heat cycle into rocks well 
before wearing out...  :-O  I now run -1.6/-1.5 degrees camber (stock) 
and 0 toe on the front...
