I noticed other members showed empathy about your job loss and subseqent car sale,you could possibly learn from it when you lecture people ,when they loose their licences, or use capslock,have a nice day !<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes, I think falchoon needs some lovin' and a few tolerance lessons.But anyway Scootre, although an expensive lesson, I hope that you now realise not to trust a dealer to look after your tyres. I would recommend to anyone to go to a real tyre place periodically to get a balance and alignment done. It'll be the best $70 you ever spend, not only for the immediate improvement in drivability but also in the potential savings in replacing tyres sooner than required.Trent.

If you have -/+ camber, then that is where it will wear. Positive wear on the inside and negative wear on the outside. I have a set of 2 18's with 40% rubber on the outside and none on the inside. Goodyear EAGLE F1'S here I come...after a camber kit.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Zuh?Negative camber means the top of the wheel is angled towards the car. This means that when you corner hard, the wheel get's pushed towards vertical - making more of the tyre contact the road.Hence, when driving in a straight line, negative camber wears the INSIDE of the tyre.From factory, most XRs have somewhere between 0.25 - 1.0 degrees negative camber. Camber kits are usually purchased to achieve MORE not LESS camber. This would only exacerbate the wear on the inside of the tyres that you are seeing.You must drive hella slow around corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 6m 24d Posted 20/02/05 01:16 PM Share Posted 20/02/05 01:16 PM I wear the inside of my tyres much faster than the outside. My fronts wear pretty slow, but by the time my inside rears are on the tread wear indicator, the outside rear still has 5mm to go!But hey, I get endless tyres with my car, so who am I to complain? Every 9000km I just grab a new set of rears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are reading about injector output on this forum in which case you go round and round in circles. I put a camber kit on a VT I had for five years which was running 17's and it fixed the problem. Can only speak from my own personal experiences. VT's had a real problem with negative camber.
