I had the UK alignment done on a new set of BFG KDW and with mixed hwy/city/autox/2 track days I got about 12000 miles out of them so it is really not to bad and the improvement in handling makes it well worth it.

Thanks Jonas.
So,If I read those specs.correctly,the rear tires,should wear faster on the inside,right?That would be the "con"part.
Also,is it true,that the car tends to be "squirrely"at high speed,on the highway?
The place where I go,has a "Hunter"machine,do I have to translate those numbers?

I've heard that rears wear from the inside to begin with, so it probably just means that they will wear a little faster.
At freeway speeds (yesterday) I didn't notice anything different from normal as far as the car staying planted.
My dealer has the laser-equipped Hunter machine - I think the tech told me that it can be set to accept either format, but I gave it to you in both formats, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Hint to the tech: that's NEGATIVE 1 degree on the camber in front. The service writer was a little sloppy, and the tech came to tell me that he couldn't get the adjustment to go as far as POSITIVE 1 degree!
I'm planning on just watching the wear, and having the rears remounted as needed to keep it fairly even. With the mileage I drive, $24 each year to swap is no biggie.

Anyone know if the Honda UK recommended alignment settings are the same for the AP2s?
I'm going to get an alignment this week and I was trying to figure out if the UK alignment would be a good idea on the AP2.
