[s-cars] Chewed up tires...

Patient is a 95.5 Avant, just north of 100k I think.  Approximately 20k on
the Kumho tires and alignment done when they were installed.  Bilstein
struts up front, stock struts in the rear.  Stock springs.  Suspension is in
good shape otherwise (ball joints, strut mounts, etc)

The insides of the front tires were so worn that the sidewall and tread
separated and blew out on the driver side.  Passenger side not much better
shape-wise.  Camber must be pretty off.  I know that the C4's are legendary
for this, but I thought it was more prevalent when the car was lowered.
Will the Igor mod or the 2Bennett/ECS camber plates help here or am I doomed
to replace tires every 20k...
