"as for checking camber I am only goig by what I can see, not checked professionally."

Checking camber doesn't need to be checked 'professionally'. Use a tape measure. Put a small mark on the inner edge of each front tyre where the "side" turns into "tread."

Move the marks to the top of the wheel and measure the distance between the marks

Rotate the wheel until the marks are at the bottom of the wheel and measure the marks again.

The difference between the marks at the top and the marks at the bottom is your camber.

If you do the same thing but measure the marks in the horizontal forward and backwards position you are measuring toe in /toe out.

For camber, if the top measurement is larger than the bottom measurement then you have positive camber


For Toe in, the front measurement is less than the rear measurement.

It should be in the range of 0 to 2mm toe in.

Both toe in and camber can cause one side of the tyre to wear

However it is normal for the inside of a tyre to wear slightly before the outside because of the way tyres work.
