philb1965 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Booked in with Northampton motorsport for a 4 wheel alignment on the 23rd. The rear wheels are wearing on the outers when they should have negative camber. Readings for tread depth are inner 5mm outers 2mm. This is on 18k mainly dual carriageways. It will be interesting to see what the readings are. Wrong from manufacture is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM specs are very generous anyways, always best to take it to a specialist who can set the car up for your style, rather than just get it in the green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can say is I must be fairly easy on the loud pedal to get 18k + out of the tyres anyway. I just want to get t sorted before I buy some new tyres or trash my spare set.
