Milton Keynes Ate My Off-Side Front Tyre! - The Pix

[Vimeous]

As promised I've finally got round to talking a few snaps of my offending tyres, now even more worn but due for replacement ASAP!

Off-Side Rear : Similar mileage



Off-Side Front : If it wasn't Milton Keynes the other side should look like this




Near-Side Front : ARGH IT ATE MY TYRE!!!!!!!

I can only see one? And it seems fine to me
:edit:Fixed it? Thats very strange how only one tire would be worn like that.

I've finished now

It's the Milton Keynes roundabout symptom. These softer F1's really show up the problem!

[Rob]

Sheesh Vim, you weren't joking were you!

[Shad]

Looks like the sodewalls are just collapsing under the stress. By the way, 'near side' means curb side so either your first pic is of your rear right tyre or you've got the tread pattern going the wrong way

[doll]

You've either been nailing it round islands or you need to get you're tracking checked! Has that side of the car ever had a smack? That looks very suss indeed to me, especially given the tread on the other side.

[TiG]

Heh Doll, Milton Keynes is pure roundabout City, Vimeous definitely does nail apex's hard in his car, its definitely a pure agression thing rather than tracking being out.

If you're getting that much wear on the one side, and as Shad said the sidewalls are collapsing, I'd say that you need to look at going to a lower profile to prevent the scrubbing?

[Vimeous]

Shad well spotted. Strike one hopeless to Vim as I was thinking relative to me the driver not the curb. Now you mention it though you're dead right.

Appologies all round.

Even so chomp chomp chomp

Perfect excuse for new fat alloys and some nice low profile rubber, all in the name of safety of course..
