#1: Uneven front tyres wear? Author: kit325, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:15 pm ---- Both of the outer edges of the front tyres were wear out, tyres pressure is alright and the car movement is terrible on uneven surface.
here's the pic on the outer edge,
here's the pic on the inner edge,
Ps: It will make tyres squeeking sound (like tyres breaing hard) when turning on small roundabout.
If anyone have any idea please share!
Cheers!

#3: Re: Uneven front tyres wear? Author: kazbah, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:23 pm ---- Yeah, defo get the tracking checked and also your tyre pressure, low pressure can cause uneven wear. Get the camber checked too just incase
Edited to add: Sorry didn't notice the bit about saying the pressure was ok!!!

Incorrect toe-in would cause outer edge wear
Of course incorrect camber also causes excessive edge wear

One more thing want to ask is do 206 camber adjustable?
Many thz!

but only slightly, to allow for slight tweaks/corrections to the camber angle.
Not 100% on this though.

When I worked at Kwik-sh** if we changed front shox wheel alignment check/adjust was included in the price

If you can't afford the tyres yet, put the rear ones on the front just so that the car sits evenly.

Replace the tyres if they're illegal (obviously), but you don't need new tyres before you can have the tracking done
Swapping tyres round might spread the wear out, but will only mean you'll need 4 tyres not 2 & won't change how 'the car sits evenly'.
Just get the tracking done asap.
#12: Re: Uneven front tyres wear? Author: kit325, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:27 pm ---- All sorted! 2 tyres replaced and have the tracking done in national tyres. Handling now is much much more better and according to the guy my front wheels got too much toe in.
