front tyre wear

[Roo]

is it normal for the inside edge of the front tyres to wear out first? i'm now looking at having my two front tyres swapped to opposite sides to get some more wear from them. The car was laser tracked last year so i would have thought that would have helped?

[Murf]

mine seem to be going the same way!

i put it down to the change in geometry when i lowered it but it handles so good i dont really care!
doesnt help you much though!

[Roo]

mines not lowered presumably it would be worse with it lower?

[Murf]

no, it looks kinda similar to yours!
ive got crappy tyres on the front tho (im trying to wear them out!) so they prob wear quicker.

Had my tracking done just after I bought the car earlier on this year, noticed just before the meet that both my front tyres were gone on the inner edges, had them changed and tracking checked again, bloody thing was miles out, have it checked again - it's worth it

Hey Roo,Id check that your front wishbone bushes aint shot too mate.

Pretty pointless getting yer tracking checked if theyre gone.Mart H and I both recently changed ours using the Scantech (who make em for Volvo) wishbones and lower ball joints (I seem to remember u only changed yer track rod ends?????).You can get these wishbones with the bushes in already for only £45 each instead of stupid Volvo prices and only £11 each for the lower joints!
