Rich Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 A relative of the missus asked me this last night as the outer edges of my tyres are more worn than the rest. Told them my tracking is fine, it's from when I corner the car...what can I say, I drive it hard!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I get the same ( feathering on the edges) must be the bad tarmac or something..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Rears are fine, fronts if true needs a look at the NS but i bet the measurements are less than surgical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The cars been monitored for so long at wim there's no way those figures are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I get the same ( feathering on the edges) must be the bad tarmac or something..... :tongue2: Glad I ain't the only one! It was more visible on my last set of tyres (Toyo's)...Tony picked up on it and said I corner too fast! Works for me Why's that then, more people buying new tyres? TBH if it wasn't for the fact that my front tyres wear so quickly anyway I wouldn't abuse them as much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totaly agree with that Tony.. .To the naked eye the tyres look fine...yes a slight feathering on the edges..could it be underinflation.? Steering wheel is a smidge of (driving straight the wheel is slightly down to the left as I look at it ) but not really evident "on the tyres though" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget on your selling list to add "Geometry by wim", i've seen this done many times before by other sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
