Maybe not enough toe in, but if it tracks and steers good, the toe in should be close. Also, possibly your camber setting.

any chance its a result of running them at less than prescribed air pressure, for quality of ride?

I am running them low but they would wear on both sides I think.

I've got the same tires on mine. I run them low also, but so far no wear. Of course I don't put as many miles on mine.
