After the talk of camber settings I decided to check mine while swapping the tyres around (11100 miles on them).

Thread Depths in mm, first figure is from edge of thread to marker, figure in brackets is actual thread depth. Btw just checked in one spot quite quickly so there not the most accurate in the world.

.......... Inside........ Middle................. Outside

FL ....... 1.8 (3.8)........ 1.5 (3.24)......... 1.8(3.63)

FR ...... 1.7 (3.8)........ 1.6 (3.23).......... 2 (3.8)

RL ...... 2.5 (4.53)...... 3.5 (5.23)............ 2.9 (4.56)

RR ..... 3.1 (5.2)...... 3.68 (5.53)............ 3.25 (5)

Rear left seems to be wearing slightly more than the right. maybe due to all the roundabouts.

Which is better, swaping tyres on the same side OR cross them over ? I just swapped FL & RL then FR & RR

you have 2 much time on ur hands big lad. all that measuring. 11100 miles allready? why change? they will all b bad at same time surely. need 2 buy 4 instead of 2? [ i think i right, but mite not b. ]

ya wouldn't be saying that with 2 Bald rear tyres on the car...due to the camber issue. luckily it doesn't seem to have affected me

why change?

Cos I get the impression theres better out there for the money

Going to change all 4 now...hence the reason for switching them.

i know im old but tyres dont seem 2 last as long now or is it bcos the cars all fwd and go faster now?
