    A work in progress.....
    I would not worry with those readings. Caster causes pulling, camber can cause wear and anywhere from 0 to 1/8 inch toe in is good.

    OP I dont have an opinion on the allignment, but what psi are you at on those? Do you have wider angle pics? Maybe the sidewalls on Rubitreks are more aggressive than I thought and playing tricks on me, but that looks really low

    Loving them they move water like crazy during heavy rains definitely quite for such a deep tread depth, as for the alignment I’m going to Toyota today at 1pm and see what they get on their machine..

    Good deal. Those seem to be one of the largest 265s(31.7x10.7) while being significantly lighter than Wildpeaks. I've been saying they're on my shortlist for a long time, I need to just make them the choice and go

    Yeah I guess they are built the same as the wild peaks but just different tread patterns and compounds, and a bit better on road manners ..

    Yes indeed, especially when it was completely straight to begin with, now I have to look at a crooked steering wheel for the next few days ‍♂️and they said well the tech has moved to another job, so it’s gonna be a while, and I had my girls with me who were already complaining LOL seeing as it was their first day off from school and they spend it with dad at the dealership, so I just rescheduled it, no sense in wasting my vacation day either ..
