I forget whether it was a caster or camber problem with the Infiniti, something to do with supposedly having better handling when set up from the factory that in practice wasn't such a good idea.
I have an Alldata subscription for this car and don't recall seeing any TSB info about tire wear but I will go back and look to make sure.
CapriRacer says he believes the factory spec range for my car is too generous so I'm going to see if I can get anyone to set my alignment to the specs that CapriRacer suggested.
