I do have positive toe, but is in spec at 0.11
degrees, which is actually very close to the middle of
the range. Maybe I'm confused, but doesn't positive
toe mean toe in? If so, that wouldn't cause the
cupping on the inside edge of the tires, would it?

A light just went on in my head, though. Maybe toe in
in combination with negative camber puts the wear spot
on the inside edge? I wonder if tire pressure
contributes to the equation. I currently run about 36
psi all the way around. Most of driving is on the
highway.

The car handles fine on the road and does not take off
on its own if I let go of the wheel.
