Planning to change my 255 35 all around to 225 40 at front and get laser wheel alignment done at the same time.

What are the recommended settings for day to day driving please - basically looking to try to minimise bumpsteer/tramlining as much as possible.

Thank you!

From searching the forums this was the only settings I found:

Front:
1mm Toe in (0.5mm per side)
0.5 - 0.75 degrees negative camber

Rear:
3mm toe in
1.4 degrees negative camber

mytuscan lists the following:

Standard geometry settings for the Tuscan:

Front Caster Left 4°
Right 4°
Camber Left 0.75° negative
Right 0.75° negative
Toe Left 0° +/- 0.01°
Total 0° - Parallel +/- 0.02°
Rear Camber Left 0.75° negative
Right 0.75° negative
Toe-in Left 0.07° +/- 0.01°
Right 0.07° +/- 0.01°
Total 0.14° +/- 0.02°

Is this what I should ask for?

Thank you that's awesome! =)

Booked in for Thursday!

I have new Nitrons fitted which did help but hoping this will finally make it feel sorted.

hmm not sure if my car has the spacers fitted - if I fit them after I get the geo done will I need to get them to align the wheels again?

Unfortunately they didn't have a way to manually enter camber in their machine - though they did work out how to manually do it for toe in though the closest they managed to set it to was 0.05 degrees per wheel front and 0.1degree per wheel rear. I have the new tires on it now but haven't been able to take it out on a dry day to test the difference.

I guess I need to take it to a more specialist place to get them to properly set it up. =/

Any suggestions in the South East guys? - I'm based near Guildford.
