Just advice needed please.
Yesterday, had two new GSD3 fitted, the fronts were almost worn through on the inside track.
Took the rears of, and because they had 50% of their life still left, these were put on the front. However these were also showing signs on inner wear and the chaps said this could cause a problem with tyre noise etc. The new shoes were put on the rear.
Id only driven about 15 miles, and already the tyre noise at low speed coming front the front was very noticeable, it was almost as if the tyre wasnt perfectly round.
I came to some twisties, For anyone that knows the area, it was the Road from Stone to Meir Heath. A Honda Integra was in front of me
Well the the car was all over the road, just would not plant itself, it was very un nerving, bearing in mind , the LCR is lowered on Silverline Coilovers, it usually sits and performs very very well.
So my question,
Was this because the rears had not had chance to bed in yet and this would cause the car to handle like it did.
or was it because the fronts had uneven wear, and people may suggest that the fronts are changed as well.
I hope its because the rears were far to new to do anything other than go in a straight line.
As a result of the uneven wear, i did have the car geo aligned about two months ago.

I would not thrash new rubber for at least 50 miles even then, I would progressively rub them in.
