Daryl Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Iv noticed the inner edges of my front tyres are starting to wear abit more than the rest of the tyre. Is this normal? Horsham did a full alignment on the car when i had new banana arm bushes fitted, (and the 19's on) and all was good. Its pretty even LH-RH side wear wise. Is this just a characteristic of running 19's? Also been advised that my fron drop links need replacing,but cant imagine they would affect the inner edges of the tyres would they?

Pimm Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mine are doing the same, but I put that down to going around corners a little to fast. I had a 4 wheel alignment done a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Is your car lowered at all? I have 19's and it's lowered. Wearing even at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mines lowered and have got slight inner wear and even on both, nowhere as severe as yours tho. Checked for correct tyre pressures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon da silva Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 check your tirepressure and get it aligned at your local shop.. but you might wanna replace the tires with 2 new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 last time i checked,they were fine. Around 34-35 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Looks like an alignment issue. How long ago was the alignment done? The uneven wear could have happened before the alignment was done from the worn bushes you obviously had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 So whats the best course of action,get the alignment checked again,and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's not an alignment you need as such, it's an adjustment of the camber to make the wheel stand up straight. At the moment you've got negative camber which is great for the handling but will naturally wear more on the insides. That's how I have my cars set up along with a little toe out, but it's very much each to their own. That does look like very excessive wear though, even though it very well might be within the OEM approved limits of adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Crikey, I wish mine wore that evenly! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better get the string out that they use in your day job to check the tracking etc More seriously, to my eye, given you are on standard height suspension, that wear looks either like excessive camber and/or toe-in.
