Default Laser wheel alignment

12 months ago i had my Impreza setup by a well known scoob tuning company and had 4 new T1R proxes fitted. The company involved set the both the front wheels to a camber of -1°11'. Now this to me seems excessive as the printout read the target setting should be between -0°45' and +0°45'. i took the experts setting to be right so haven't questioned it until now when i found that both of the front tyres have excessive wear (no tread) on the inner edges (15mm) of the tyres after 8K miles. The rest of the tread is still 5mm on the centre 90% of the tyre and the outer edges are 3mm.

Can anyone provide some info to suggest the camber was setup wrong.

Cheers,

would normally run around 1deg negative on a road car, so not horrendous although more than i would suggest................you don't mention toe??

as for tread it seems as if you may be running under inflated, as the dedges ae wearing quicker than the middle
