[Healeys] Tire wear problems

[BJ8Healeys]

Hi, Bob -
The toe-in spec in the book was for original bias-ply tires.  For your
radials, the toe-in should be zero.  The reason for this is:  toe-in is
intended to compensate for the tendency of the tires to toe out due to
rolling friction when the car is in motion.  Radials have less rolling
resistance than bias-ply tires.

Thanks Roland
        The problem is both toe in and Camber. I have Offset bushings on 
order to correct the camber and I have adjusted the toe to about 3/16 inch 
( The book says 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
