hi all
sorry to be a pain

put 15s on my corsa a while back but front are wearing on inside
standard 13s didn't cause a problem.can't afford to keep chucking tyres on so 13s front
15s rear at moment. is there anything that would stop tyre wear on front

tanx for any help

Put the 15's on and get the tracking done.

yer they will just need tracking . your chamber is probs out. easy fix mate

Yup tracking will sort it - should be 30 quid or so at most garages. also chances are they wont be balanced either so get that done at the same time

thanx for the info when funds available will do

ive got same problem my 15s are burning out on the outside edge rest of tyre has 6mm tread left my tracking has been done and the wheels have been rebalenced also had new lower arms and bushes yet my tyres are still being burnt out on the out side edge any ideas ??

when you had the tracking done they probably didnt do it correctly or never adjusted the camber.
sounds like your running too much positive camber if the outsides are wearing

incorrect trye pressures or cornering too hard

Camber is a possibility craig.

alloys are et35 would this still b a problem ??

depends how much your lowerd by

im not down at all im still on standard springs and dampers , if i had the camber angles adjusted would these alloys be ok on the car ?? im also planning on taking it down 60mm on coilovers

with et 35 you either need camber witch ruins tryes quicker then normal or to roll your arches and get spaces specially if u want to drop it

so realistically im best of gettin rid and gettin et49s or et46s?

get rid and get some vaux alloys or anythink with an et of between 42-49
