#2: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:09 pm ---- I think you should get your tracking done if it out, personally i don't think it handles better when its out at all.

which is good
#4: Re: tyre goin bald Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:13 pm ---- Get the tracking done on it. You won't feel any difference either way but you'll go through loads of tyres if you don't do it, which will obviously hit your pocket.
#5: Re: tyre goin bald Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:14 pm ---- oh front. my bad.
yeah tracking is out
#6: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:15 pm ---- Get the alignment done.
Check the springs aren't sagging and the ball joints aren't worn as well. Tracking place would probably check them anyway
#7: Re: tyre goin bald Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:20 pm ---- it has new springs and new wish bones. is the tracking arm near the front wheel as can adjust it abit so don't wear so much. then when get tyres dne can get dne propirly
#8: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:22 pm ---- You need it tracked then. Every time a suspension alteration is made, it should have the tracking checked.
Don't attempt to do it yourself
#9: Re: tyre goin bald Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:25 pm ---- ok kool will get it dne soon

as everyone says get the alinment done, and no it wont handle better becouse you have less tyre in contact with the road thus less grip and youl go throw tyres like a 17 yr old on happy pills
#12: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:24 pm ---- Is it lowered?
#13: Re: tyre goin bald Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:57 pm ---- Judging by his sig then yeh i would of thought so
#14: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:59 pm ---- Well thats the cause of the uneven wear then.
#15: Re: tyre goin bald Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:00 pm ---- So due to it being lowerd means the tyres wnt wear evenly? ??
#16: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:03 pm ---- Yeah because the lowering causes the suspension geometry to change, in this case giving the car negative camber and wearing the inside of the tyres faster than the outside.
My car suffers from it too
#17: Re: tyre goin bald Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:09 pm ---- Strange don't think ive ever noticed it on my car and im lowerd 60-70mm will have to keep an eye on my tyres as ive just put 4 new ones on
#18: Re: tyre goin bald Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:09 pm ---- As everyone said you need the tracking done again, I put some brand new tyres on when I lowered my car and within a week all the inside tread was gone
#19: Re: tyre goin bald Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:11 pm ---- Depends how low you go. Lowering 30-40mm, you aren't really going to notice the increase in negative camber.
It's only really if you go stupidly low.
But Howey is right, the lower the car = more negative camber
EDIT:
If you think about it logically, your car is lower to the floor, but the wheels are still like 8inch to the centre as they don't alter. So they naturally tilt in.
