Uneven tyre wear
« on: June 18, 2008, 22:02:01 »
I noticed my left rear tyre is wearing on the outside, the right rear is also but to a lesser extent, and the right front is wearing on the inside.

I'm guessing the front probably needs the tracking adjusting, but what adjustments are there on the rear?  Isn't the rear geometry controlled by the panhard rods, which aren't adjustable?

Or am I just mashing it round corners too fast?

I think you may have answered your own question :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've sust that the wear on my front left is from two of my fav roundabouts or should I say comming off them with the left wheel in the air or spinning  :twisted:

I have noticed this happening with mine too, although to a lesser extent as I don't encounter a huge number of roundabouts. Having sorted the handling out last year I find I tend to make use of the greater predictability!
