You should worry about getting toe to 0 degrees and have a little camber instead its worth it.

I believe that was a typo as you can see his rear toe is at 0.14 and 0.05 and 0.01 front on the tech sheet he posted.

I don't think I've seen too many cars over 100k having even tire wear. Especially not being able to rotate them due to stagger and directional tires, this is not surprising. Of course an alignment will help but I wouldn't be surprised in 30k there was uneven wear again.

My best advice to you Paymon is to take your G35 to a independent brake/alignment shop and have them check out your suspension. Items like bushing/idler arms and worn shocks will cause excessive tire wear. If the mechanics at Firestone were worth a damn they would have pointed these areas out to you. Lifetime warranty's don't cut it if they're incompetent. Every neighborhood has a knowledgeable independent brake/alignment shop, talk to your friends and find yours. I'm lucky to have two....
