I have 101 landings on my current main gear tires. The tread is just about gone - so I intend to replace them this week. How does this tire wear compare to others out there? I am particularly curious because it appears (to the eye, not the ruler) that the toe isn't perfect. Specifically, the camber on the right main gear appears to be canted to far inward (positive camber). The toe measured right according to the book, but it sure looks like the right main gear is toed out. The left looks fine with respect to toe and camber, but seems to be worn slightly more than the right main tire. I have the standard gear, and the plane is a pig at 1,265 lbs empty. The nose gear looks like new, and has about 165 landings - I've never replaced it. Thanks, Matt
