flukey-lukey Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 the other day i had 2 new tyres on the rear (running on 265/30/19) while the garage were changing the tyres i decided to have a good look at the fronts and was horrified when i saw the inside edge of both sides, they were worn down and past the metal threads, but the rest of the tyre had LOADS of tread on it. So i first suspected that they were rubbing on somthing as it had completely taken the inside edge off, but no, there was at least 1" clearance all around even when on full lock! After much ummming and ahhhing my friend and I decided it must be the camber and alignment of the wheels, does this sound right to anyone? and if so, does anyone know the settings for camber for my size wheel??? please please help as i had to have 2 tyres put on the front today as i feared the knackered ones would go pop! cost me a bloody arm and a leg and don't really want the same thing to happen again many thanks, Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
