Your tires will last a lot longer now; at least mine last longer now than without negative camber.

I read the first couple of posts, and was gonna immediately say that the mechanic most likely installed them the wrong way round, i've heard of this particular mistake happening quite a few times, and lo....

Glad to hear it was something easily resolved...happy motoring sir!
