Get the car to WIM for gemetery setup. Cost you about £100, I think. (I also made the same suggest on the other forum).

I dont think ive ever had a set of tyre last 9 months

Your wheels need a refurb aswell by the look of it mate :winky:

I just had MOT, and had an advisory that the inside treads were gone on the fronts, so I have had them replaced. I have been down to WIM and had the geometry done a couple of years ago, but there was a few thousand miles on the tyres before WIM, so I assume the damage was already done.

I wonder if the geo is forever reset, and not influenced by speed humps, kerbing etc, I have never heard of a need to 'REWIM' but a certain Tony always seems to have his eye on posts like this !!!!

Hi sadly pot holes,speed humps,kerbing dont help,so it becomes a process that needs doing every so often.

Don't know, what Tony will say, but front camber for me seems stil to be off the values recommended by WIM. I think it should be between -10 and -20 minutes on both sides.
