Evening everyone,
I am after a bit of advise, on Monday I replaced the two back tyres on my Mig, this was due to excessive wear on the inside edge of both tyres, this was a humiliating experience because unknown to me the tyres were in a shocking state on the inside edges with one having a split between the side wall and the tread pattern along with a gum boil of a bulge in the edge, the tyre fitter went mad, the rest of the tread on the tyre was in excellent condition hence my ignorance as visual checks through the wheel arch did not highlight the damage. so my question is what is causing the serious wear issues, I am being pointed in the direction of camber angle adjustment can anyone confirm if this is likely to be the problem.

Cheers in advance
Neil.

You should have told him to shut the f*ck up and change the tyres!

Trip to Wheels In Motion required I think - one of the few places that understand the Omega chassis.

Hi
No, its not caused by camber.  The only way of adjusting camber at the back is by changing the ride height.  However toe IS adjustable at the back and it would seem your rear toe is probably out.

I would have told him but he had a point lol, how much on average does the four wheel alignment cost to get done, hopefully its gotta be cheaper than keep replacing tyres also it may improve the way she drives.

rear is not adjustable fot camber! Toe only on the back, which i hope is miles out, or there is a serious bush problem somewhere i guess? either rear donut bushes or trailing arm bushes perhaps? Of to wim with you to find the problem once you've inspected the bushes for obvious failures,trouble is you dont want to put to many miles on your new tyres until the issue is sorted.

Southampton to Chesham not that far    (well less than many have travelled) so get it to WIM (aka Blackboots)  only place for a PROPER alignement IMHO

given your location perhaps michedever tyres would be better, their service is good, but its a bit of a production line, and not as personal and helpfull as wim, nearer though.
