that was my initial thought too, "I thought" I had seen other shops bolt the sensors right to the hub with the wheel off. But looking at videos now, I see they hook them to the rim with the tires sitting on blocks on the lift. So it's conceivable that any angled wear on the tire "could" change the sitting geometry, or at least it sounds logical to me. I think I am most concerned with if more experienced folks would say that the tire wear looks like the toe is out of cal, or If I have other problems. Everything I read about scalloping blames balance or suspension wear. But the tire that I put back there never hit anything, doesn't noticeably vibrate or shake, and the car only has 25k miles on it so I doubt the shock is bad. And thinking about it more, we don't even have camber adjustment on the front, without a camber bolt kit. So basically from factory, the only thing that can be adjusted is the toe on our cars? At that point the tire should have absolutely no effect on toe (I think)
