Folks,

I have a 2008 Mustang GT (Bullitt model).  To my surprise, the front tires seem 
to wear more on the inside than the 
outside, which is unexpected since I try to spend as much time on the outside 
of the tread as possible (if you get my 
'drift').

Anyone have similar car with same issue?  Is this more common on 'modern' cars? 
 My other/previous vehicles always had 
more wear on the outside of the tread.  Is this car biased towards more 
negative camber in turns?  I do rotate regularly 
(front-to-back, rear crossover).

The wear seems consistent on both sides, and there is no cupping so I think 
alignment is probably OK (but I'll get it 
checked when I re-shod the car).

Bob
