I put a full set of new tyres on my cerb even though the fronts wher only half worn the inside edge had completely gone, down to the cord infact.
I checked the track wich was within tolerances but though I’d try a bit more toe in to stop the wear.
Bad idea, the car was all over the place. Even though I only made a small adjustment.
Im thinking I could reduce the –camber a bit but what I think now is sod the tyre wear I just want to make the car fell good on the road.
Dose any body know the standard settings for front and rear toe and camber.
And is there any better settings.
The car is on new nitrons at standard ride height and so3’s.
One rear tyre is rubbing on the arch which the same size toyo didn’t. iv heard more –camber at the back will stop it but what about handling?
Any advice or experiences will be more than welcome.
