Sorry but i think the arrow means ... "this side in"... lol

Ya that takes the biscuit ..... surprised to see a 175mm tyre on a micra , Is it becoming standard practice for manufacturers to put wider tyres on these days? My old starlet had 145mm tyres ...

OK Tony... didn't mean to put you on the spot..... But would it be possible to post the recommended Lexus settings? Could you then add an observation of what is wrong with the Lexus settings that you have corrected for other peoples cars.... Then i could use this example of what was done with the proper equipment and expertise as a reference point and not as a official recommendation from you as such...... Unfortunately it's this or nothing for now.... one of the disadvantages of living in a rural setting cheers

Hi Tony, Back again...... but not successful, I can't find a garage with the proper equipment anywhere reasonably close so a full print out is not going to happen.... The garage i take my car to at present, their main mechanic is an ex-rally guy who says he knows more about setting up cars than any young pup with a computer ..... so i told him about WIM's expertise and he said get the settings from there and he'll set it up as such.... So Tony would you be so kind as to give me the recommend default positions and settings to use for my car.... Thanks very much Noel

yes always a good idea to put the "saver" on one of the non driven wheels...... Once they have kept the rolling radius the same it shouldn't matter......

My old Honda Integra had a space saver wheel that had a smaller overall radius..... so when it was on, the car was slightly lop sided..... how safe was that? In truth they are supposed to be only driven at a greatly reduced speed and for a short distance..... But they are great fun...... Once over the Christmas holidays i had a puncture and everywhere was shut.... and i was courting so had to be mobile..... oh did i mention it was snowing..... Integra as you know is front wheel drive so i stuck the "saver" on the back and kept the speed sensible... but every now and again I'd get a sideways movement, which was scary at first but before i went home i was doing front wheel doughnut's in a deserted ( everybody else stayed at home) snow covered car-park.....Twas late at night too... only me and the cops CCTV on the hotel across the road..... lol, only found that out afterwards.... Oh the fun memories

OK thanks, low level tramua is a good result now to find a garage that firstly know what camber -20 means and secondly have the equipment to measure and sort it..... I'll post back if I'm successful.... cheers

Hi Tony, thanks for the reply...... so from your expert experience, all i need to get adjusted is the camber on all wheels and to raise the psi to 35.......correct? you say fronts -20'..... is it the same for the rears? From my pictures, do you think the car has a slight problem or is it urgent...... Thanks

I hope this is ok..... ( reason the first one looks thinner than the rest is i resized the rest to make them the same size to fit onthe page side by side ... ) Will these pictures be of any assistance in determining what is wrong with my cars setup...? more info...... standard 5 spoke 17" Alloys with Dunlop "direzza" directional tyres.... 215 x 45 x 17, They were part used when i bought the car back in January and have since done 12,000 Irish miles... ( oh my God, didn't realise how fast the miles were clocking up.... )... Thanks

Hi, My RS200 Altezza has now got two front tyres that are very worn on the inside edges......( will be changing them soon, just need a little advice first).... I thought this was only a problem on the IS200 as i heard they are setup different for Europe? Thing is.... these are the same tyres that were on the car when i got it, ( Dunlop directionals with half their thread left).... i did check them when i got it and this edge wear wasn't even starting.... To be totally honest..... i have driven the sh*t out of it as i had to suffer a diesel for 5 years ( family reasons) and had alot of fun to make up for...... As i live in rural Ireland and seem to be having a job finding somewhere that have a clue about geometry ... I am hoping that you may be able to assist. My car hasn't been lowered.....It's the equivalent of an IS200 sport, or so i believe Would it be helpful if i took a picture of each tyre and posted this up.....??? Roads aren't great in this area either, have hit a few potholes.... Basically any guidance on what needs to be adjusted if any thing before i put the new rubber on would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Noel
