Thanks for the info....guess I should have looked it up before taking it into a shop.
The specs they used look nothing like this. Guess I'll have to see if they will work with me, or if I'll need to find a different alignment shop. Thanks. Larry
You might not have much luck. Most of the large alignment shops will only align to factory specifications because of liability. It's ridiculous, because you're not running bias ply tires, so really the liability is running radials with a bias-ply alignment. But, most of the guys that work at tire and alignment shops these days weren't even alive when bias-ply tires were the norm from the factory. So, they probably have NO idea why the specs are different. Maybe if you find someone with some critical thinking skills they'll do it the right way if you explain the problems with the factory specs, but that might take a few trips to different shops. Most of those guys are just "plug and play", following what the computer tells them to do.
