Tyre Wear

[HELLRAISER]

Hi Guys,

I have R33 97 model, n a bit of a problem with a tyre wear on my front tyres (i dont get it) normaly rear tyres go quicker ... Its the inner side of the tyre wearing more than any other spot, u guess its sumfin to do with the angle of the tyre / \

Car has stock wheels and its not lowered at all. Kumho tyres that i put on it (NEW NEW) 8 months ago r totaly illegal now, too bold ...

I was thinking to put 18inch on it soon, but i guess that there is no point doing it till i realise whats causing this ...

Any idea??

Thanks

Get a wheel alignment!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

alignment, balance and general checkup

Ditto. Make sure when u get new tyres u get em 2 do an alignment. A balance should come free.

to much toe angle.

wheel alignment FTW

camber will do it too. Althought my r32gtst has 2.5 degrees neg front camber and im not getting uneven tyre wear.

and check your tyre rod ends. mine are stuffed which screws my tyre wear and always throws the alinement out

ok ok ok

just to let u know, it wasnt simple as the wheele balance only, i tok it to K-Mac 2day,an they reckon i need a camber kit done ($560)

right wheel is 1,4 off an left one was 0,7 which is not normal .... so yeah that was causing uneven tyre ware ...

Now new wheels 1600 camber kit 560, and once u put bigger wheels it sits too high and u need to lower it whic his aproximetly 500 just springs .... aproximetly 2500 bucks ........ maaaaaaaaaan

Anyone needs a kidney??? Lever 1/2 of it only ... a testicle ...
