My driving style has worn it down even more, also doesnt help that the front has brembos which makes the inner edged wear out faster. Wheel alignment shop didnt give me a printoutYea you must do a lot of skids to get those tyres down in 8000kms lolI think wear those tyres out, then when you get new ones get a wheel alignment, get the print out and post it up and we'll see if we can help. I know my local Jax does suspension as well so when fitting tyres they can check suspension for shagged bushes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 5m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/05/13 02:08 AM Share Posted 23/05/13 02:08 AM I would have to say alignment and under inflation contributes more than bushes...unless they are completely flogged out.I have a completely re bushed suspension in my BA with super pro poly's . Tyres lasted an impressive 46,000km (yokahama Advan V103's) but the inner edge on teh front tyres wore slightly before reaching the treadwear indicators (maybee another 5k I could have got out of them.)I think I got lazy on weekly pressure checks and ran em under inflated for a few weeks (around 32-34psi) contributing to teh inner wear...as the tyre is allowed to deform more under cornering.will see how the new set goes, keeping them at 40psi.

Said bushes were fine and just did wheel alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine 38 would be on the money though but again depends on what tyres your running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
