Alignment Q
« on: 20 December 2011, 19:30:08 »
This question is merely academic, because I know my car needs WIM treatment, and I am already planning it..

BUT for the sake of discussion. My offside, front tyre is wearing on the inner edge. The nearside front is wearing totally evenly, as are the rears.

I've seen both tyres wearing unevenly on the edges before, but never just one!!

Purely as a stop-gap measure, perhaps you could adjust the camber of the O/S to replicate the N/S James?
Although perhaps that's stating the obvious, I've previously achieved near-perfect results! ;)

Black 3.2 I had early this year had almost new tread on the outside edge of n/s/f and lots of sharp nasty wire sticking out of the inner edge. O/s/f had the same symptoms but in reverse - good inside edge,wires on outside edge.Dread to think how that would have handled. ::)

Oh, this isn't the canvas I was running on at Guffer's meet. Fronts appear to have got a bit chafed... A few thou of rubber to go yet, IMHO... But he made it clear that, having passed it, he wanted them changed. :-X

That Mr Wood does make me chuckle. Sounds like an expensive couple of months on rubber Kevin!
