I would suspect toe as the problem rather than too much camber. Is this on all 4 tires or just front? If the last alignment was 45k ago, you may want to do that again. Find a good shop that will spend the time to make it right rather than some $50 deal.

I had some some steering issues that cleared up after switching to nearly 0 toe. I can post all of the specs later if you're interested.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess I can't complain then if I got the mileage I have on these no name tires. The tread that's bald is about 1" in from the very edge of the insides of the tires. I can't tell if it came from the front or back since I did a few tire rotations. In the past I kept debating on getting all new stock height springs and oem style shocks for comfort reasons and for avoiding tire problems like this. Having the RS4 style bumper might not look very good on a stock height b5 though. I'm still debating on what I want to do :\

I think Firestone offers lifetime alignment deal.
