Tyre Wear

[Goose]

22,000klms and tyres are on their way. Probably only around 5000klms max left in them. No fault of the car though, just my shifty left foot slipping off the clutch. Not to mention round-a-bouts ..... WEEEEEEEE!!! ever been on a rollercoaster?? hahaha

My ome 225/50/17 Dunlop LeMans will be stuffed at around 18000km and if I drive like my dad I might get 20000km.

Photo was taken at 15000km.

What tyre pressures Davo, it looks like they were over inflated. Wheel alignment must be OK as the wear is square on the edges.

I was under the impression this front end has factory fitted shims which require replacement to change one of the alignments, camber?

I saw your tyres on Saturday. I think 5000 k is beyond them, considering the driving style. :lol:

They look over inflated but aren't .

I run 32psi around town and 36psi on the open road. check them every 2 to 3 weeks.

I also rotate every 5000km and the tyre in the photo is off the front, it has some scuffing on the inside.

Its funny but the back is wearing faster then the front and yes its not my driving but it could be the 2nd year apprentice who doing the service and warranty work.

This brings up an interesting point, how long are we getting on our OEM tyres & who's rotating or using nitrogen???????

Al, I'm sure you need to run different settings, cause if Ford & whomever is setting your car say they're running factory settings then this isn't the settings for you & your beast.

A wise man once said, your front tyres will wear fine if they spend most of their time in the air. The answer for you is a Romano power up.

Say g'day to that supermodel wife of yours!!!

Yeah, but the real trick is getting the rears up there with them
