Tread on tires wear


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Last year I did the swap of the R200, I now have 2000 mile on the tires. I'm in process of doing my coil over and when I removed my rear tires I noticed that the tread was wearing wierd, like toe-in/cupping?

 

Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix?

 

I must have set the R200 wrong. Where do I start on checking this?

 

Getting new wheels and tire and dont want this to happen to them.

 

Please advise

Thanks Alot

Adam

Adam,

Unless you have a set of Mike's rear control arms, the rear has no adjustment.

That tire wear may be a relick from the old struts. Once the pattern starts, it will usually not go away, even after the source of the problem is fixed.

 

You can go to a shop and have the rear checked, but I doubt that it's the alignment if the wear is the wavvy/cupping type wear.

Make sure that all the bolts and bushings are nice and tight back there.

Tim,

 

When I had the R180 in I had different tires and had no problem.

When Tighting the control arms/bushings should the car be on the ground or in the air?

 

I will be working on the car all weekend, so I will be rechecking everything back there.

 

Thanks

Adam
