That's exactly what I've concluded.
Of course, I was partly just ranting at the ignorance of the dweebs
who work at some of these place. Pro'bly never occurred to them that
wheels don't have to be perzactly vertical. Camber? What's camber?
You'll have to fix that, you know...

This term stumps me however. What do you mean by runout at the
surface? Visibly inconstant radius as the wheel spins? Or perhaps
taking it one dimension deeper, a radius which varies across the
tread as the wheel spins?
