Golf GTI Mk4 Tyre wear....quick comments please...

[LuckyP]

Good mate of mine took his GTI Mk4 to have it's tyres checked. Tyres badly worn on inside edge only.

He's been told that the tracking is OK. Rears OK.

Any thoughts before he goes for an AWA?

Front lower wishbone bushes are prone to dissintegrating. Could be that.

Thanks Groomi,

That's just the thing he can explore.... Ta.

which tyres front or back ?

bushes are usually the culprit though

if its the front just get two new lower arms for it, its only about £10 more expensive than buying the bushes on thier own and its probably a load easier.

If it's been lowered then that could cause it as the MK4 has quite specific geometry. Then again, I would have expected it on the rears as well.

My old MK4 GTI had exactly that problem when I fitted some coilovers, a new set of Eagle F1s ruined in less than 2000 miles and 1 trackday.
