Ah! I only ever buy tyres in pairs so I guess that makes it easy for whoever I buy them from.
Easy way to tell is if they have 'outer' written on the wall.

you did say speed related, didnt pick up enough on that,
strange though, shouldnt be that close with stock wheels, or are the shock bodys a wider diameter? or there is too much camber set.

Gap between stock 235 45 17 wheel rim and stock shock on mine is about 15mill with camber set to 1.10, more than enough for a wheel weight, assuming the wheel weight is fitted correctly of course?

Had a look today when in the car and found the data from the place that did the the set up and found they had the camber at -1.50 if that makes sence...would that get the big lean in a the top making it rub the struts.

Its too much, but surprised it caused that much heat on tyre.

When we did my shocks at Newent, handling aside, I had no issues doing 70 miles home in a semi spirited fashion ::), and they were wrong side of 2 degrees :o

no, doesn't sound enough to me, either measured wrong, wrong sheet for that set up, or do you have non standard wheels or tyre sizes?

i'm under my car now so if you need anything measured....

It did seem the kind of camber you would see on a lowered Saxo. Very bad.
