"You cannot load up the car without pushing the camber more towards the negative side (because of the strut type rear suspension), regardless of how one sets the unloaded alignment."
True, but not incurable. The rear camber shim kit is very effective at resolving the inner tire wear tread problem. (The sacrafice in handling is very hard to notice if at all.) Any heavy load on the rear suspension with a pronounced negative camber will greatly increase your wear rate on the affected area, but If you correct the camber, you will see a drastic improvement in wear with or without a heavy load. An inflatable airbag bladder along with a camber shim kit will cure your problem. The shims are $10 each from your dealer. The load leveling air bags are available through SAS in Oregon or through Summit racing. Good luck. :o)
