My first set of bridgestones on the front lasted 29k. I had these replaced with Kumho's and tracking done. I have since done just 11k and the replacements are worn out between the the inside edge and middle. Identical on both sides. I'm wondering if this could be becuase the tyre place used the wrong values on the front (maybe even from the Mk1 Octavia for instance). I believe excessive wear on the inner part of the tread on both sides can be due to not enough toe-in or even there being slight toe-out.

Can someone please post the full, correct geometry settings for front and rear (revised if possible). Don't suppose it matters but it's a 1.9TDI with normal suspension. Ideally I'd like to go down to the tyre place tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

There is some info here -

Thanks but only the rear camber values are on there. I'm looking for all values, front and rear.

It's only the rears that had an issue. Fronts should remain unaffected at factory settings.

The sort of places I use for tracking have the values for every car stored on the machine, the machine then gives you a print out of the recomended value, it's tolerance and then the actual value.

Stu - what 'sort' of places do you use then, could be useful to know for future reference.

The front camber isn't adjustable.

And although the rear is, it's an absolute pig of a job apparantly. Perhaps you can shed some light on this Ross as to why this is the case?

I use a place that has a 4 wheel computerised laser alignment. That said anyone doing a tracking check should have a book with the correct values else how would they know what to check?

The rear adjustment is a piece of cake, you only need a 18mm deep socket on a rachet and 18mm spanner its great.

Mines going back to the dealers go be looked at as twice now it has scrubbed the insides off both the fronts (O/S worse than N/S) in less than 17k miles, steering wheels off center too to the right by about 10 degrees as well - haven't kerbed it and not hit any pot holes big enough to do any damage to my knowledge (it's a 4x4 so surely it should be stronger anyway?) but the dealer has has the drive train in pieces a few times trying to find a vibration that turned out to be the DMF.
