Subject: LNC2 tire wear

I was just going through my logbook and thinking about my tirewear.  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
