I wonder then from what you describe if it's not simply a side effect of cornering speed :-\

Having followed Chris to his house after the curry I can confirm that he does like to corner rather quickly indeed.. I only caught up as I was in the M3 - poor Kev in the MX5 disappeared into the distance behind us.. ;D

Hooligans, these Omega owners.


Out of interest, Chris, what pressure do you run the fronts at? Just wondering if the tyre is 'rolling over' under hard cornering - although you'd have to be driving like you were on Saturday an awful lot of the time for that to be the cause..

Shouldn't show yet. If the settings are in range then the wear will be within the life of the tyre. If there was wear after 5k that would be bad.

But if your concerned get them to sort it. ;)

I have run these at 28 psi. Same wear. Nice compliant ride.

Current set are at 34psi. Carrying some load and the roads are buggered.

32psi standard Al. Nobody runs max load pressures all the time. Ride is way too harsh.


....unless your a Taxi driver. ::) no wonder they pootle about everywhere

Thanks Chris.

on the contrary i'm not concerned at all. No wear equals no problem in my mind :)
