Camber on the front end?
I just realized it a few days ago, as to why the corners on my BFGoodrich Radial T/As up front were wearing prematurely compared to the rest of the tread...I guess running without the trim rings for a while made it more obvious...but I'm running a just barely-visible amount of camber on front...I forget if it's positive or negative (heh) but the top of the tire is sticking out further than the bottom. The front suspension was almost completely gone through three years ago when we installed the Early Classic Enterprises 2.5" drop spindle / disc brake conversion kit (which I've been EXTREMELY happy with, by the way) so there's very little, if any slop in it.
So...what am I looking at having to do to adjust the camber to closer to straight-up at least and get better life out of the next set of treads? ------------------ Project 1970 - soon to be seen at http://milhouse.treylis.org:81/

The camber can be adjusted by removing (in your case) shims from the upper A-frame mounting shafts. As long as you remove the same ammount of shims from front/rear, caster will not be affected. Good luck.
