That's exactly what I've concluded.

Of course, I was partly just ranting at the ignorance of the dweebs 
who work at some of these place.  Pro'bly never occurred to them that 
wheels don't have to be perzactly vertical.  Camber?  What's camber?  
You'll have to fix that, you know...

This term stumps me however.  What do you mean by runout at the 
surface?  Visibly inconstant radius as the wheel spins?  Or perhaps 
taking it one dimension deeper, a radius which varies across the 
tread as the wheel spins?
