Hi, Every 2 months im having to get new tires cause the inside of the tire wears out. The guys at the wheel joints say there is nothing i can do, its the make of the car soarers all do this!

I looked at my tyres and they seem to have a lot of wear on the inside. I'm not sure how long they have been on for since I bought them with them on there but the tyres don't seem to have much camber at all.

Is one side bald and the other side of the tyre still have heaps of tread, if so then get your tyres rotated to get more life out of them and it will save you some money in the long run. Plus it might help to get a wheel alignment done and tell them you don't want as much camber on the car as it has now.

Your tyre place is full of it, shut them down by telling everyone they are a bunch of idiots. Goto a reputable suspension shop that does wheel alignment, and get them to check everything over aswell as bushes etc.

Your tyre/alignment shop is full of ••••• Your tyres should wear evenly if you are using the standard alignment settings (do a search for these, or they are on www.planetsoarer.com)and if your suspension is OK. Uneven wear will be due to: a. your wheel alignment is being set up to incorrect settings (unlikely as to wear your tyres this quickly it must be out a mile - but worth checking), b. suspension components are worn meaning the wheel alignment is impossible to set properly as it moves around a lot because bushes etc have a lot of play in them (likely), c. you drive into gutters a lot and put the alignment out that way (your call). The pattern of wear on a tyre will tell you a lot about what the alignment issue is (camber, castor, inflation pressure etc). I like to look at my tyres at least every month and check them for early signs of irregular wear patterns. Acting early can save chewing tyres out prematurely (esp. when mine are $400 a corner).

Anyway in other news just arrived on the docks 250 tyres. How many pairs can I put you guys down for? 3 lots of 4? Let me know. I know we all need badly cause soarers are just a tyre chewer. That tyre shop is right on the money. :p
