[s-cars] tire wear

[Bruce Mendel]

If it's not camber, I'd look at worn bushings next, or something bent if
it's only one side that the war is on.

I was running -1.5 in front with no noticeable wear, have just gone to -2.5
for track events, and expect to see inside wear in a couple of thousand
miles.

But getting readout of current alignment specs is good way to start.
