Front tyre wear (Eagle F1's)

[luke]

Both my front tyres are going to need replacing because they've worn almost all the tread from the inside. The rest of the tyre is fine but the inside is completely worn? It looks like the kind of wear you'd get if you were running lots of negative camber, but I'm not as far as I know. My friend said it could be the tracking but I'm not getting any vibration through the steering wheel and the car feels fine? The tyres have been on about 10K miles.

sounds like tracking to me if the front wheels are towing in then it will scrub them to death.you won't feel anything through the wheel either unless they need balancing

Tracking is out mate

Thanks. Will have to make sure it gets sorted when I put the new tyres on.

yeah the trackign will be out,

don't forget eagle f1's are a soft tyre so wont last much more tha 10k if your lucky anyways

One of my mates has an LCR & his F1's were down to the canvass on the inside edge, but he still had a good 3-4mm on the outside... Had new ones fitted & got tracked at the same time, tracking was way out

BTW, you're lucky to get 10k out of them! Normally get 7-8k out of mine

fitted newish F1's recently - seem to be wearing fine. My car is getting lowered with my FK coilovers in the very near future, and am getting tracking etc all done at the same time, as apparently it needs to be done when the car is lowered...

ive had f1s on for around 10k and they are fine, i had the alignment done since buying the car new so maybe yours is out now? for 35 quid its worth getting it checked and reset. try to find somewhere that uses the hunter system or equivilent computer controlled alignment kit as it uses on the fly calcs rather than book figures.
