Eating Tyres
Eating Tyres
Some of you have propally read my project thread and seen my problem but thought unwound post it here aswell.
Today tool wheel off and seen I had bold tire so put spare on then went out when out checked
Tires pressures and my mate noticed my other brand tire was on the limit, both side have gone on inside edge, my mate seem to honk it will be my suspension bushes, would this be correct?
If so does anyone know were to get updated bushes as seen trd ones but can't find them now, if my mate is right.
If not does anyone have any ideas?
Had tracking done couple months ago and was not out that much really.

Having your tracking checked and adjusted will not alter/improve inner tyre wear.
You need a trip to Dr Bones at WIM or get some garage to use his settings as you live a long way from him.
1990 Eunos Roadster in Mariner DU blue
Cobalt cat back, Decat pipe, 15in Red Rota GT3 alloys, Toyo tyres, Lowered on Coil overs, Red anti roll bars, 14degree timing mod, white dash kit, illuminated side marker lights,
Halo ring headlights, OEM windblocker, Bluetooth streaming HU, Blue leather handbrake and gear lever gaitor, Centre brake/tail light mod, Blue velour door cards, Polished cam cover, Polished front strut bar, 4xheadrest speakers, JDM floor mats, Suede semi dish steering wheel,
I would guess at more of wheel alignment out rather than bush wear, IS model suffers badly from this with factory settings.

Also last time they did my alignment they could not adjust it and they say they think it cos of the bushes or bent arms.
