Ya, they said it had too much toe in but now think it's too neutral so going to take it back, I think it had too much positive camber myself but wasn't present when the did the alignment. I'll be keeping a closer watch on this tire. I'm thinking seriously in buying new rims for the panel too, I hate these Centerlines that I have on it. Way too hard to balance..

I like the look of the rims I have but they don't run true on the balancing machine, wish I had bought the smoothies first time round and why we put them on the pickup..

Never heard them called smoothies before. I have heard them called chromies.
