got a back tyre issue....i think!

ive got falken 225/45 16s all round but bigger 8.5s on the back - the car has hartge lower harder springs but doesnt have camber/toe adjustable bushes - although it is noticable camber it is , according to the 4 wheel alignment gear in tollerance both toe and camber.

its done 11k miles and its knocked the very inner edge off to the extent they are shot - the rest of the tyre being good.

given the tyre make, the mileage done, and the lower ride height - do you think its bad and should i fit some eccentric bushes..

88 E30 M3 fast(er than it was, ta Shep and Grant)

and a k8 2008 busa...faster still

(focus RS gone to good home - but never forgotton, eh Shep)

Hoover, you say in tolerance for both toe and camber, it might well be within tolerance, but at the limit of the tolerance and when weight is added then you are outside tolerance.

Do you have the figures?
