I've got S02 PPs all round on my 97 Chim 400, and the back are on the legal limit, and the front have about 6mm on the inside edges, and 2mm on the outside. The front nearside has worn worse the the front offside.

I gather that S02 PPs aren't around any more, so is the best option S03PPs at 22psi front and 24psi rear?

I want to get the tracking/geometry setup as I'm sure it's off (pulls to left). Can anyone recommend anywhere near Bath (South West)? I have a Protyre (Same as Micheldever) in Bristol, but not sure if they're the best at setting up a TVR.

Cheers,

Steve

If your lot are the same as Micheldever you should be OK.
For about £25 Micheldever do laser tracking on all 4 wheels, I had mine done last year as I replaced a track rod end, pretty clever piece of kit.

Check the camber at the front, either your tracking is waaay out or you need more -ve camber. Do you have a lot of roundabouts down your way?

Yeah we do have a lot of roundabouts down here! But the wear is quite exagerated, so you could be right. Protyre quoted me £93 to check/adjust the tracking and camber - I'm just not convinced they'll do as good a job as a TVR shop...Gonna smoke these tyres to bits before the new ones Bring on the roundabouts
