Title: Tyre wear on outside edge
Post by: StokeyBry on October 07, 2018, 09:13:35

Hey,
I have noticed there is more tyre wear on the outside edge of the front tyres.
I bought the car just a few months ago and it does seem to have been lowered at some point, also I did see a little wear when I got the car.
I don't drive fast around bends,  :wacko: can the camber be adjusted on the car or could it be something else causing it?

Check your tyre pressures are correct and get an alignment including swapping the rear tyres to the front or the edges will continue to wear if left on the front.

If you haven't had the car long, we can only guess whether the shoulder wear happened on the front or on the rear before a possible rotation.

But assuming the wear happened on the front and is on both tyres I reckon the toe setting needs adjustment. The wheels will be toeing in.

Thanks for the advice, the rears are ok so I am going to rotate them and take it to the garage for a wheel alignment.
The toeing in seems likely as there is no noise or anything abnormal I can feel
