If you have too much camber in the front, the tires will wear on the inside if you drive a lot on straight roads or not fast on curvy ones. For normal road use, around 1 degree, for fast road use about 2 degrees (maybe a little less)

Oh, and make sure you have 2,2 or 2,3 bars tire pressure in the front (1,9 or 2 in the back)

BF Goodrich! I dont think those are very good tyres!
Anyway, tyre pressure may vary from tyre to tyre, I had to put more into the Pirelli PZeroes, so look at the car once you've got the correct amount of air and check if they look like they lack pressure...
Claudius,
Do you find it hard to get heat into your P-Zeroes without p!ssing everybody off? I found that my set needed to be driven too hard before they would start to work. Once hot they would hold and wear quite well but by then your ears are ringing from all the profanity hurled in your general direction.

By contrast the Eagle F1 set I have fitted at present seem to work well without too much provocation. The Eagles will overheat much more quickly but it seldom is an issue for me. I find them similar to the Yoko AVS sport.
The impressions I have of each tire are rather subjective as the P-Zeroes were on their way out when I fitted the Eagles.
