I think we are agreeing. If you look at the picture with the bad toe, the
edges of the tread are feathered, in other words, if you ran your hand over
them, you would feel ridges. Bad camber means the tire wears 'evenly' but
more on either the inside or outside of the tire. When you run your hands
over it, it will feel smooth and gradual.

What I had on my car matched the tire in picture two and four. It is deep,
smooth wear on the rounded part of the tire. My toe was way off from
lowering the car. I couplbe be wrong as I am no expert on alignment....
