Hmmm, I can understand if there was no give at all. But there is (and must be) some.

That said, there would be less, thus less toe needed ?

Tunnie - you're plastic tyres don't count. They were so hard, even you could overdrive them, and that wear pattern looks like they have been overdriven. Or maybe your shagged suspension (at the time) hasn't helped .  Was that wear on both fronts, or just one corner - I can't remember?

Both sides

That's my thinking.

But would zero toe be too little, given there is "some" give in the bushes? Plus you still have rubber in the verticals...

All this farting around with tyres to get best handling, wear rates ect, the amount you lot spend on tyres you might as well get a VXR8 

In nearly 100k, I'm only on my 3rd set of tyres

Aye, but not even my nearly 80yr old mum (that'll piss her off, sorry mum!) drives as slow as you...

Unfair tag that, drive as normal folk do. 80mph cruise down motorways, about the same on country roads, I also have had 2 speeds tickets since I passed.

Some you just drive like nutters

Ah I see TB is struggling with this compromise thing, and that there are numerous fractions between 0.00 and 0.10 combined toe. it's not like a throttle, on or off. There is an adjustment in between.




Maybe half the original toe setting...? See what Tony says perhaps? I can't see an issue provided it doesn't go into toe out. Maybe it already does on the brakes how to tell ?

Vxr8 and monaro both need set, same as omega.

Directional instability under braking.

I've been having that until last night, in TBE. TBE has outside shoulder wear, more extreme than Mr Gixer's

The car is much more stable under moderately hard braking (not tried a proper brake test yet).

New calipers perchance
