Don't forget to have your tires re-balanced from time to time. I have a 97
Dakota CC 4x4 with 31" tires. Purchased a road hazard guarentee from Goodyear
that also includes tire rotation with balancing whenever I want. Only had it
done one time so far, and all 4 were out of balance. (I really don't know if
they were slightly out of balance new, or the wear up to that point caused it)

I think I see a little cupping or other funny wear on the fron
tires of my 2WD Dakota. I would like to have the alignment set to
the factory specs, but with toward the side of the specs that
improve tire wear. I assume that the closer the toe-in is to zero
the better. What about caster and camber? What alignment numbers
will give the best front tire wear?
