Very weird tyre wear

[chris mc]

My Mrs car had the same problem not long ago, got her Geo done and all is good again.

Just wanted opinions on this , running obviously the same camber both sides, but the drivers front has worn inside edge through to the wires :119:

Been running a set up Raeder in germany did on the monday AM when I was late arriving at Spa on our big trip a month or so ago , running a fair bit of camber -3 which is a bit too much for the road !!

Lazy so never change it :whistle: but still should be worn the same really I would of thought unless something is amiss :smt017

Car going down to a specialist next friday for a check up prior to Ring trip on Aug 6th, so just thought id see if anyone had any ideas

Only noticed by a mate as I was pulling out on full lock !!!

My votes toe out. I've done this 2 or 3 times now (will I ever learn LOL) and the toe out was the problem - one recent example the tyres were perfect apart from down to the canvas like yours.

Not heard of Tankslappers suggestion before, so never considered that. But I did once drive 6 or 7 hours in Germany with Cups on and decent toe out, and when I got back from the trip the fronts were exactly like Daz's picture. I struggle to see how autobahn driving could result in this because of softer springs and too soft on bump - whereas toe out, effectively dragging the inside fronts along could definitely do it.

I meant to say I thought it was toe Aswell, I'm just wondering why one tyre was so much worse than the other? As you'd expect the tyres to scrub evenly with toe out

Not if just one wheel was toeing out Jim,

To be serious for a second...
Can you have only 1 wheel toeing out whilst driving? Wouldn't the wheels automatically centre? Or am I just being a :clown:

If your wheels automatically centred why would we need to adjust toe in the 1st place Jim

Come to Oulton park on the 7th, I'll give you a suspension/geo lesson:thumbs:

I think what he means is:

Say you set one wheel to a 'true' 0 toe in relation to the centre line of the car. Then set the other wheel to 0°10' toe out. When you drove the car, the wheels would 'centre' so that you effectively had each wheel driving as if it had 0°05' of toe out.

This is what would happen isn't it, therefore it would be impossible to have only one wheel toe-ing out?

Egggsactly what I meant Paul:thumbs:

I just forgot how to say it so precisely:bigcry:
