Worrying Tyre Wear

[kerms34]

Hiya,

Just been into the garage to get my fronts swopped for the backs as is normal and noticed some pretty bad wear on the inside of the front tyres,, this is a sign of what ??

Excessive negative camber usually, though it could also be your toe angles I think, or worn components.

Does the car pull at all in any direction?

Are your tyre pressures ok?

Are your shock absorbers in good condition?

Are your front suspension bushes in good condition?

I'd say if the components look OK go and get a laser alignment done.

Are your tyre pressures ok? Yep, checked regularly

Are your shock absorbers in good condition? How do i check this ?

Are your front suspension bushes in good condition? Same as above ??

Push up and down on each corner of the car to check the shocks, if it is excessively bouncy and doesnt return to its oriignal state theyre buggered.

As for the bushes look under the car just behind the front wheels there are two large metal circles with rubber bushes inside them, if they look cracked or worn they need changing. Very common problem on the fabia.

Did the check your tracking as if that is out it can cause tyre wear issues. Is the car lowered at all??

what tyres are fitted , some tyres seem to wear to excess right on the inside edge , even if the tracking is correct , had 2 Dunlop 9000s on the front of mine , they both had a scary amount of inner edge wear when i swapped them for Toyos

My front tyres were wearing on the inside because the console bushes were basically nackered !

Got the cupra and powerflex ones in now and theres no excessive wear on the inside now

Thought you had never had inner tyre wear issues? How are your Toyos doing, they didnt last well at all on mine? (T1-Rs)

i'll clarify that , never had inner tyre wear issues due to a track or camber issue, i put the problem i had with the Dunlops down to the tyres themselves , especially as have recently seen another car with those tyres on with exactly the same issues, it was as if someone had put a 45 degree shamfer on the inner edge, the rest of the tread was about 4mm , and i would of refitted them after i had been to the Ring but for the inner edge wear

How are your Toyos doing, they didnt last well at all on mine? (T1-Rs)

Toyos on the front lasted about 7k , but were abused at the Ring, Spa, and Oulton Park , got Toyos on the rear with about 25k miles on them

Thats nearly the same experience I have had, front Toyos lasted no time with a chamfer like wear on the insides after been at the Ring but the rears are still OK (just) 25k later.

I am nearly clear in my head about my tyre wear issues, thanks for input

[kerms34]

Ive got Toyos all round ,, I agree that its just a tyre issue not a suspension or bush problem.

Hi all

Might sound a bit weird but all you "tyre issue" people could you post pictures of your drives/parking as I have seen this issue before and it was down to reversing off a drive,belive it or not,coud be the cause and cure.
