Do you have readings from an alignment machine? You really shouldn't
estimate these settings. The only real adjustment is the toe which
will, if the toe-in is too much, cause the tires to wear on the
outside as you describe. Adjustments for the other measurements are
possible but are for the folks who have access to the right gear or
shops.
