Welcome Noel ...Sorry to hear about your tyre issue .. Unfortunately, I cant help with your query. It is a stange one because there have been a few recent report of excessive (uneven) tyre wear particularly on the diesel but I thought it was more the fronts (related maybe to the extra engine weight effecting the front suspension)
went up to pedders 15mm eccentric bolts in the bottom of the front struts should do the trick $150 put them on order, go back next week cheers noel
All,Evidently this is a prevalent issue for the I30. BUT, I discovered Shark Racingoffers a sweet set of adjustable rear trailing arms. I found them in a hurry after being advised of the issue in my Touring (I30) here in the U.S. They were shipped out of Korea and arrived quickly, shipping included. The link is:
Dazzler,You say it is an issue for high km cars, but all the cars in this post seem to have low k'sI have done 43k in my CW and the only issue with my tyres is that they are running out of tread.Will be interesting to see what happens once I double that though.Would be a shame if it does start to chew the tyres.....but I don't think I have heard any of the +100k people mention it (though my memory may be failing me)
Surferdude, Sorry for the long wait, but things have been a little crazy for me. I bought the car with 14,400 miles on it. Now it has almost 27,000. We bought the car in May of this year. Right after the accident the alignment was checked and found to be way out, so all tires were rotated and the alignment was performed. I got a chance to look at the spec sheet afterwards and was pleased with the numbers there. Everything was reported to be in the "acceptable" parameters established by Hyundai. Since the alignment I have been keeping tabs on my tires and have found that the rear tires continue to degrade on the inner shoulder only. The alignment was done by Hyundai at the request of the body shop which fixed the car. It just happened to be next to the dealership I think perhaps it's simply time to cal the insurance company AGAIN, and let them know that the car still isn't right. Also the tires on the car when purchased were the original units and they showed almost no wear. Undoubtedly the accident has affected something which has not been repaired or correctly addressed. But I'm still stuck on the point that Hyundai tells me all wheels are aligned within their specifications, yet my tires still suffer.
Surferdude, Before we began using the car for work we removed the rear seat. This assembly probably weighed about 75 pounds or so. The combined weight of what we carry is probably close to 200 pounds. This shouldn't have a negative affect on the tires, at least I hope!!
