Hi Guys, Been pretty inactive for a while (mainly due to having a work car). Even though I don't drive the FG, I seem to still spend money on it! I am after some advice for selecting some new tires to fit the 50th Anniversary XR6T Ute Rims, and how to deal with the camber - I have only racked up 35,000 k's on the factories, but was told at the last service that they are scrubbing the insides and are no longer roadworthy. I took this to a local tire shop, who said all Ford's need to run a negative camber or else they are horrible to drive - Apparently mine looks like it is running a bit too negative and may need to get shims added to correct this... I have had an alignment done at about 15,000 (at a different tire place) and they said it was all correct (obviously not). My questions are: 1) If the negative camber is so common, is there some form of kit to solve this? Something adjustable? 2) What type of tires should I be looking at? Please keep in mind: - I only really do some spirited driving on occasion, so I am not after tires that handle amazingly, but only last 15,000. Something middle of the road would be perfect. - I have already scanned this thread for some suggestions. I asked the tire shop for "Nitto Invos" as these seemed to keep coming up - The tire shop said they could not get them in the right size. Pic attached for scrubbing reference.
