Maybe its just my driving.
Just for the record, the car wasn't lowered.

Camber/ caster rather than tracking
No it isnt...... Camber doesnt wear tyres much quicker than standard - its the toe angle which in effect scrubs the tyres back - hense to quick quick wear....
And castor doesnt really come into it...
Wrong
Incorrectly set camber/caster will affect the toe and scrub tyres even if the the toe has been set to manufacturers specs (which he said it had been) if the camber and/or castor is out even with the tracking done to set the toe angle it'll stil scrub, like he said it did.

Pointless tracking a car up and not doing camber caster it all ties in together, tracking a car and still having tyre wear indicates camber caster hasn't been done, tracking sets your wheels parallel but with the wrong camber caster they can be parallel but pointing in the wrong direction
