Tyre Wear At 15k Miles ?

PI100 · August 14, 2003

my two front tyres are wearing away at 15k miles.

the car is going in on monday for new alloys (refurb) and they are going to look at the coil springs.

since my tyres are wareing on the outside edge do i need the wheels realigned.

thanks in advance

A full suspension alignment check is required.

will i get a print out of before and after the alignment to prove that it actually happened

the de facto lazer alignment system does not lend its self to paper print outs. it only takes 20 mins though so why not ask if the nice man will show you how they do a 4 wheel alignment. paid £19.90 for mine and saw for myself that they had them all set up bang on the setting.

gave me great peace of mind.

Just had mine done at NE Tyre and Exhausts, they have one of these state of the art laser guided systems. You get a print off and they also had a monitor showing the readings in the viewing area. Did cost £166 to get it and the adjustments done.

Hopefully this will stop me wearing out my tyres on the inside edge :)
