Title: Uneven tyre wear?
Post by: Mart8V on 03 June 2007, 11:59

Have just swapped my tyres front to back and noticed that both fronts are heavily worn on the inside, almost to being bald.  Have only had them on the car since Feb.

What is causing this?  Car is lowered by 40mm, but is a late Mk2 without the camber adjustment.  It also pulls a little to the left.....

Help, please!

Thought that might be it, but only had it done three months ago.  Bugger......

what tyres you using? mind by having it lowered you should expect a lot more inside wear because it increases the camber anyway.

Have Toyo Proxes on all four.  Didn't have this problem with the Goodyears on the last Mk2 (suspension swapped over), but then this one seems to sit a lot lower for some reason.  Curious.

Will get the tracking checked anyway.
