My front tyres have got a few thousand miles left on them and by then they'll have done 18,000 and my cars lowered! They r only cheap jobbies too! The rear have got the michelin tyres that were on the car when i bought it and i've done 25,000 since then so they've done at least that and they've got loads of tread left, still look like new, but they not drive wheels though i know! Oh and yeah my car is lowered! LOL

	it is too much camber thats causing the wear on the inside of the wheel.Try a laser tracking.Probably won't even need a camber kit for a small change in camber

	try R-TEC mate they arent far from you and have all the jee wizz magic machines to do the tracking and all that. www.r-tecautodesign.com

	more then lily your camber will need doing. and no you cant adjust it wit ha drop that low. pvd sell the kit. as for tracing, go find someone that uses Lazer tracking. cause they use a diffrent method to stay on the tyre to track em.

	What size are the wheels ?
p4ult	posted on 25th May 03 at 12:36
	About 2 months ago, I lowered my car by 40mm on g-max springs (looks more like 60). All has been fine with only a little rubbing. Yesterday when I took me front wheels off to paint the calipers I noticed the inside edge of the tyres has worn very badly. The place that fitted the springs couldnt do the tracking as their jig wouldnt go over the wheel as the arch was stopping it! And I havnt had the chance to find anywhere else that can do it yet! I had expected the tyres to wear quicker as the camber is now set like / \ that. I also know the camber cant be adjusted without a special fitting kit that Regal do. My question is, if I get the tracking looked at will it stop the wearing or will I have to get the camber seen to as well? Surely everybody on here that has lowered their cars hasnt had the camber changed or do they go through tyres every 6 months??? Cheers
