Tire wear?

Featured Replies

So recently i replaced my inner and outer tie rods and got an alignment. The thing is that the alignment sheet says i have -1*50' camber at the front. My question is how much will it affect tire wear, substantially or almost not at all?

I got the Meyle HD tie rods which are claimed to be reinforced and better than OEM, so i'd rather keep them if they don't allow more adjustability.

 

I'm running 8J ET35 wheels with 225/45/R18 on a 2006 Superb Mk1 2.0TDI

Hi Armis, welcome to the forum.

I'd guess that the extra  -ve camber won't cause too much extra wear on the inside edges of your fronts - I note that the standard spec. -ve camber on the rear is the same as you now have on your fronts. It probably will improve turn-in on tarmac - but it might make it a little 'twitchier' on gravel.
