Philplop Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 That was very gentle driving! I was scared of my tyres coming off so I drove round corners really slowly! Just the masses of negative camber that caused it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Kez Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i pirellis on the front of the ctr were slick on the inside after about 500 miles it desperately needs the camber sorting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i pirellis on the front of the ctr were slick on the inside after about 500 miles it desperately needs the camber sorting outThey come out the factory crap, need front camber bolts, rear camber arms and a fast road set up to get everything spot on. Makes a massive difference to the handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Its cheaper to get your tracking and camber done than replace tyres but people never seem to get there tracking and camber done.

Dazz Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 i had my yoko's on the old red lupo and got nearly 6,500 out of the fronts, and never changed the rears in about two and a half years. They still looked brand new when i traded it in, well except the outer wall was bad of scuffing the arch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if it won't make a difference or something, lol.Just freaking do it!I did freaking do it! with VW Alan Day, booked in and 2 hours later after getting my gti back, she now pulls to the left and jiggles both ways on braking! Took it to local skoda dealership on advice from my sis and the main service guy says the bushes are all worn and would give innacurate wheel alignment readings! So much for VW quality of service.
