Extreme or Normal Tire Wear?

Interesting Tire Rack fact:
They say if toe is out side spec 1/16", tire will move "sideways" 7 ft per mile. I found a site that converts toe angles to inches.
That means my right front was moving 9 ft per mile, and my left 83 ft per mile. Holy shiznitz! No wonder the tires looked sanded... both tires wore pretty evenly which is a bit weird.
Also explains weird jinks in extreme wet weather. One tire loses grip- the other goes off on its toe angle... I did notice it was pretty unpredictable. Just thought new tires weren't as good in rain as advertised.
Learning all snorts of stuffs...

It's a shame they didn't adjust the rear camber though, while they were under there
