please accept my apologies.. it is 7 minutes of toe in.. not 0.7
degrees.  i did say i was tired, didn't i.. :)

so, should i reduce the front tire pressures then?  if the inside wear
is not caused by exceesive toe, is it the pressures?  note that these
new settings were set just a couple of days ago.. before that the car
was running strictly stock.. (except for the tire pressures)
so whatever it was that was causing the inside wear it was not the
current settings.
