New Tyres and Wheel Alignment

Postby jeffas4966 » Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:49 pm

Hey All,
Just changed from the OEM BP050A to Yokohama Advan Sport V103. First impressions are promising but time will tell.

Had a wheel alignment done at Wheels World in Oz Park (tyres done there also), must say they were very good and actually asked what sort of driving I did and how I drove the car. Consequently I now have a bit more camber on the front now HEHE.

Cheers

Did they suggest when you rotate tyres to rotate them on the rim because the tyres will now wear more on the inner edge decreasing tyre life.
Built not bought, it's a way of life.

If you have zero toe you won't wear the inside edge of your tyres with stock suspension even with the front maxed out for camber.

Jeffas, I found the V103's to be pretty darn good for their price. They got pretty loud after about 15,000km (when the tyres wore past the cross cuts in the tread)
