>From my experience with strut suspensions, moderate negative camber with
mild toe-out can cause that sort of wear in 10k miles or so (e.g., -1.5
camber and 1/8" toe-out). If you eliminate the toe (out or in), the wear is
reduced considerably. I ended-up running -2.5 camber and adjusting two-out
at each autocross to reduce the inside tire wear. For a street car I'd
probably just do a minimum of camber and have the two set to zero.
BTW, I love those Bullitts -- nice and understated.
