just replaced my original wheels and iv noticed that all for tyres have worn down on the inside, the outsides and middle are in perfect condition, any ideas what could be causing this, just sounds abit strange having all four worn. cheers.

your camber is out chap if you have upgraded to 17"+ wheels you will need to get adjustable camber arms to compensate for the larger wheels.

sorry i didnt describe that the best, what i meant was the tyre wear is on the wheels i have just taken off, is it still the same problem? av just put 18s on, thanks.

Yeah Camber is still out, It will be worse with 18's on so well worth getting some adjustable camber arms and getting them set up right.

 

Used to cost me a fortune on tyres on my last Zed.

or well thats not so bad, thanks for your help craig.

No worries chap

Could it be tracking?

 

If the suspension's lowered or the original shocks have sagged I think that can effect the camber.

basically it can be anything but surely chamber ..

mike ..

Also, don't forget to rotate your tyres, this will even out the tyre wear and give them a longer life.

The alignment is out either from Lowered aftermarket suspension, or worn and sagging springs & shocks. The front has no camber adjustment, the rear has a little adjustment. May be worth getting toe checked, which is adjustable. If its camber and not toe, you will need adjustable arms to cure or new replacement stock suspension.

Also, don't forget to rotate your tyres, this will even out the tyre wear and give them a longer life.

Whoa !! some tyres have directional treads and if fitted to the other side will be rotating in the wrong direction and thus give very poor grip. You can change them from front to back but not side to side. Check tyre wall for arrow showing direction of rotation.:yes:

Agreed old zed, but you can have the tyres changed from wheel to wheel:yes:

don't move the wheels - move the tyres then when they are put on the other side they will be rotating in the correct direction but wearing on the opposite edge

Whilst wear on the inside edges of all four wheels points most directly to camber being wrong due to oversize wheels or dropped/soft suspension it can also be an indication of drifting during cornering (check for lateral scoring on the tyre) this can be due to pressures being set up too high.
