Does this make any sense? The right main tire is wearing on the inside. We interpret this wear pattern as being caused by a tow-out condition. (???)

When we checked the alignment per the Service Manual it was discovered this gear is (was) actually towed-in (The square touched the aft portion of the tire with a gap at the front of the tire).

The gear has now been adjusted to zero tow-in/out. Our concern is that with the wheel adjusted clockwise (as seen from above - towed-out), the wear on the inner portion of the tire will worsen.

Has anyone experienced this?
