round tire wear

[Larry C Leung]

Actually, by the wear pattern, it would be classically too little.(i.e.
too high, center wear, too little, shoulder wear) It's definitely
alignment/tire related. BTDT with the very tires being spoken of, had
considered raising pressure to even the wear, and I run 34 psig cold. Toe
still to be brought in, camber now okay. Then we'll see, though I think
the wear of the Kumho's has been definitely compromised.
