Btw though, what does the rest of your suspension setup look like?

(Awaits Synolimit to tell me im wrong

My daily driver... I am at about -2.2 in the front and it ruined my Yoko ad08 in about 1000-1500 miles with inside feathering. Toe is on the straighter end of spec. Checked alignment twice. Flipped the tires over, and it did it again. Having never had such a problem like that with my 350 or other tires on the 370, I am left with a lesson that some tire designs cannot handle camber with mileage? I'm not sure what else to think of it. But by 2000 miles the car was unbearable to drive, literally sounded like an off-road truck going down the highway.

When I flipped the tires over for round 2, I even replaced the wheel bearings. Examined ball joints and tie rod ends for any play, found nothing. Only thing I didn't check was the control arm bushings. After both sides of the tires were ruined, I installed some used Toyos off a friends 350z... So far no feathering.
