Helloo for those of you who dont know my cars pretty low and l8ly ive noticed my camber gettin worse and worse meaing the tyres are going on an angle. Had my service today and they rang me up and said you need to front new tyres i said they must be calling the rong person but they wernt. When i got there i looked at them and by cHrist half of the tyre from the inside to middle where below the bald bit i culd actully see the strands of what look liek string which isnt good "i guess" :cry:and ive onli had the two tyres from that garage 6weeks ago and coverd 500miles, and theyr not really budget they were toyo proxies (195-45-16) Im gettin replacement tyres of another garage tomorro becuase ive had the back to done lately and theyr pretty good (handcooks) or w.e they are lol. Also the garage which did the service are sending the tyres back to toyo tomorro to see if anything can be done (doubt it)...

Soo cuttin a long story short is there anything i can doo? other than raise the car or adjust the camber slightly which i did when i first lowered the car!

thankyou....

The tracking was done when i had the new tyres on the car and the camber was adjusted by losening the bolt and straighting it up basically...? that any help because tbh i dont know sweet FA about the camber etc ...

Go to a decent tyre place and get it setup properly, just ask them about camber setting up.

Get it done asap or just keep eating tyres.

you have to adjuts camber first then reset tracking, if it was done the other way round you could have dialed in a shed load of toe out which has ruined your tyres
