Hi all,

I've nearly done 12k on my WRX03. Noticed the outer edge of the front passenger tyre is looking very worn. I tyre rotated a few months ago but its gradually getting worse. Not smacked any kerbs so I wouldn't of thought tracking was at fault.

Would i be right in making the assumption that we do more right hand bends than left, hence why this tyre is getting battered and not the others?

Thanks in advance

Frank

What you said is indeed very true, however it is not uncommon for a car to be mis aligned from the factory. Take the car to your dealer and they will carry out a full wheel alignment under warranty as long as no curbing whatso ever is apparant, neither is any crash/repair damage.

Hope this helps, Gareth.

Tracking won't solve this - camber check and adjust is the only way!
Mind you much improved grip and steering feel also result!
