Mine's the same. Probably tracking out though. The nuts that adjust the tracking always seem to come loose on my car

mine arnt loose! but it does creeck alot since i had poly bushes put in!

Can always adjust mine by the fingers, even after locking them lol Local garage thinks it could be due to all the potholes around here.

If outside of tyres wear faster then if I remember from college then it means your car is toe-ing in, in other words your front wheels are like / \ and scrubbing on the outside.

na i think mybe i go round round abouts nearly sideways lol! used to happen before i had coil overs(fk)and before i put 17"s on lol!

[stevo172-RWD]

wat the tyres? k-tec set up the fks so they should b ok! my mate said when he see me going down the road the tyres are bending off the rims! when i turn!

if ya tyres are always wearing down it's because you rag the car too much. calm down mate, then your tyres will last longer.

What camber are you running on the fk's?? I get a little of extra wear on the inside edge on apex springs, really need to get some camber correcting bolts for mine! lol

anyways, did k-tec set the fks up with the 17"s on?

he said the outer edge.......that down to a dodgy setup not the speed. youve been ripping it up round corners on 3 wheels steve?? lol

mine managed to chew a tyre in 1,000 miles, because i went from standard 14" wheels to 15" wheels and lowered it 60mm without getting the tracking checked (plus it was ex driving school so had smashed the kerb plenty of times)

its been fine since the trackings been done, get it checked out

oh and 260bhp through the front wheels might be contributing to it!

well they either haven't been setup properly then, or something is fairly wrong!
