Bobbeh Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Fronts gone already? They should be good for a couple of years! Are they worn in any particular area? Must be hurting the cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 inside edge... Not V happy Is there any way to fix ware on the inside edge? Have you checked your tracking/alignment? I think you will get more wear for wider tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 If you have a quick setup (camber/tow) you will wear the insides more. Had my setup changed a couple of years ago and it TRANSFORMED the handling, but wears fronts fairly quick. Price you pay for a planted car!

Guest chiefvinso Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Is it both tyres on inside or one in and one out? Do you go over speed ramps regularly, the ones that allow you to go over them central but catch the camber of the ramp on the inside of your tyres. I used to go over speed ramps like that and had excessive wear on the inners so went over the ramps alternating sides. Hope that makes sense and if it has nowt to do with your problem sorry for the long essay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Mine on 18"s eibach billies and trd anti roll bars was set up for fast road/ track use and was seriously planted unfortunately it wore an inch off the inside edge of the front tyres down to the threads. No wear on the rest of the tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 You dont want to know.. You would turn your nose up to the setup anyway I wasn't looking to be controversial But if it's on 19's with ultra low profile rubber yo will never get the fronts (or the rears, to a lesser extent) to wear evenly. The cammber control of the chassis is nothing like right to run very low profile tyres. You may be able to IMPROVE the wear situation, but you will never eliminate it to any really worthwhile degree.

MVP have started to sell camber control kits? Any idea if this would help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 No, it won't help, it's not a matter of getting the STATIC camber back to normal when the car is lowered, that's trivial, iit needs the DYNAMIC camber curve altering (how the camber changes in roll, pitch and dive), the latter means a total suspension re-design. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
