Alfa Romeo GT JTDm Inner Tyre Wear

[jay140285]

Hi all,

I have recently purchased an Alfa GT and I am very impressed with it.

I have noted that the inner from tyres are wearing quickly.

I am planning to:

Replace upper and Lower Wish Bones
Drop links
ARB Bushes
Get Geo Checked.

Is there anything else whilst I am at it?

Thanks

James

You've got it covered

I bought a high-mileage GT and I had new upper and lower wishbones fitted straight away, swiftly followed by new tyres.

Still managed to scrub the inside shoulders, although to be fair, they've done over 15,000 miles, so I'm not too dismayed

Next time its in for work, I'll have the tracking done again, and this time, I'll have it set to the toe-in limit (had it set to the middle of the tolerance last time) - this may help a little

Thanks Nigel,

Parts will be here this week so I will get it done and replace the 2 front tyres.

If you have got 15k out of your fronts I can live with that.

What tyres have you got on it?

I run Falken ZE914 until late November, after which the Dunlop winters go on

For a mid-range tyre, I've been very pleased with the grip levels and durability. They've started tramlining a fair bit now that the inner shoulder is worn, but for the price I paid, I'm well chuffed

When I had my GT I got the tracking set to parallel and tyre wear improved dramatically

Been Looking at the Falkons, it has 2 decent Cooper Zeon CS6 on the back at the moment.

Any thoughts on these?

Also yes I was thinking about having it tracked more central.
