Tyres wearing
« on: 17 December 2003, 14:20 »

Ello all, just noticed my driver side tyre is wearing on the inside, can this be sorted with the tracking or is it a toeing issue ??

I want to keep the money I spend on this car to minimum and toeing costs sh!t loads :(.

Thanxs all

i bet u within a week of drivin your inner tires will look like slicks!

Sounds like the tracking ro me. Could also be the tire pressure.
tracking is about ?20

I need two new front tyres anyway so it is no real problem. I will get the tracking looked at when I buy them.

thanx Gozza its my blue bad boy ;D

I sent a pic to JV i think and he put it up for me.

What u need to do is get some webspace, put your pic on there and then copy the picture link to your profile signature.

You with me? ::)

well its either the tracking or the camber

most tyre places cant check camber so for ?35 u may aswell get it sorted properly.

no point doing things by half
