BenStanden 15 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hey guys I recently lowered my cars on TA Technix coilovers and after having them for two days they have already started chewing through tyres.I think it might be because of the profile on my tyres which are 65, but not sure is the strut was put on properly.So I may end up buying new wheels and lower profile tyres.Thanks Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silver! 0 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 You need to get your geometry set up. Toe in, tracking etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenStanden 15 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah man because my wheels are cambered on the front, but does anyone know how I would do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silver! 0 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Take it to a garage or tyre fitting company that has the equipment and part with your cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenStanden 15 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah cool man will probably pop down to kwik fit tomorrow, thats a relief I thought I would have to spend loads on getting new wheels and tyre which I don't have the money for at the moment haha.

jamiea7x 37 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 well yowl need new tyres at least, your toe will be incredibly out combined with the camber thats why its worn so badly on the inside edge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenStanden 15 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 yeah I have already replaced the one in the picture but the other one isn't to bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solution BenStanden 15 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Solution Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ok, so I have sorted it and what the problem is that the holes that the bolts stretched so you can adjust the camber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeA 310 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes you can adjust, but not with precision. The tyres need replacing mate, you need to get it all setup properly to save the new ones suffering the same fate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenStanden 15 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah I am, buying some new wheels and tyres very soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silver! 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Camber, new wheels and tyres wil not fix that. It's your "toe" which is doing it, which will be exaggerated by the camber.Get a full geo done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenStanden 15 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 well my tyres are not earing away any more and issues like my steering wheel not facing north and the car pulling to one side have all been sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lupoluke 9 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 It will be eating away at your tyres just at a slower rate, you will have to get the geometry set up every time you raise or lower the car, how quickly depends how badly it's out, get it done by some one who knows what there doing as well, after my experiences Kwik fit couldn't find there own arse in the dark with both hands.
