Front Tire Wear - Caused by Alignment Issue
Anyone else experiencing tire wear that may be related to the original alignment issue. After only 40,000 KMs.
The pulling to the right is likely a high sensitivity to road crown caused by Caster.
My issue is was the original alignment given excessive Camber or Toe IN?
Below are some images of passenger and drive tires and left and right edge shots of the driver tire. The passenger tire is identical.
Of interest I loaded an image of the rear tire as well which did wear reasonably well except for the centre has excessive wear. This is likely due to excessive air preasure. In summary, 340 hp does have something to do with the rear tire wear.
I have not rotated the tires according to maintenance records. I always dislike the vibrations that starts to cause. There is nothing like the ORIGINAL balancing. The reality is that the tire rotation would have masked the true wear issue.
Comments welcome.
