Response to your post in #9. I do the stick pin method I think although I don't use a pin. I make an extremely small dot anywhere near the center of the tread with a pen or ,yes even stick pin. This made on both tires at 6 inches above the floor at the rear of the tires. Measure this distance between the dots and record it so as to not forget it. Be sure to roll the car forward enough before you do the first dot at rear of tire to take out all slack. Now roll the car FORWARD until the dot is 6 inches above the floor at the front of the tire. Measure this distance and repeat until the second measure is 1/16 " less than the rear distance. If you have to do this again then continue moving only forward. If not enough room to do that then roll backward far enough so that you roll ahead again to get the 6 " height at the rear dot.
