New tires quicker to feather?

[Marconis]

OK, let's see if we can make sense of this.

First, I am going to assume that if they were to measure the alignment today, they would get the same thing.

Second, the left rear has the worst alignment settings. It's still "In Spec" but it is not within the inner half of the range.

But what that LR toe is going to do is force the rear of the car to track to the right - balance the rear toe out. That will force the driver to steer to the right, uncambering the RF, and getting more camber on the LF - AND - getting more toe on the RF, and less on the LF. The cross camber should result in a pull to the left - so that would counter act the rear.

So the vehicle would track straight, but the front tires aren't pointed straight ahead, so they would slightly grind off the tread rubber - outside shoulder on the right, inside shoulder on the left.

- BUT -

All this assumes that it's currently like this. I'll bet it is not.

Well, ****. It sounds to me like that is exactly what's happening, indicated by the fact that my front right tire seems to be chopping more on the outer shoulder, and the front left on the inner shoulder. I haven't gotten down and looked at the rears in like 1500 miles, but they seem to be wearing much better and more evenly than the fronts, as far as I can tell by the indicators on the shoulders. I'll take a look tomorrow.

All in all, sounds like I actually need to get these mish-mashed alignment settings actually aligned by someone who knows what they are doing, not just getting it in the green. It was done at a chain shop. Would also need them to tell me if something is bent (sure as hell hope there's no unibody damage from the previous accident), however when I took my vehicle in for a suspension diagnosis they said they could find nothing wrong. So maybe it's just the alignment that needs redoing.

It should also be noted that our roads here are horrible. You may as well be driving over craters on the moon. So the alignment probably moved around a bit since I got it done. Is that why you say, "you bet it's not"? I'm also wondering if this sort of wear already is considered excessive for so few miles. Frankly, I've never paid much attention to my tires before getting this car. Not sure why I decided to go full blown OCD on this one haha.

Thanks again for your detailed repsonse!
