hi ya. when you had the lower wish bones done was the tracking sorted at the same time. sounds to me as your tracking needs to be checked.sounds like its towing in .it should be cheaked every 6 months or 6000 miles what ever comes sooner, i would also have the tyre set at 30 psi, think this would also help.

 

yeah i would get the tacking sorted, plus I doubt high tyre pressures are helping

 

What tyres are they?

 

rubber ones

sorry that was bad

You can only joke if you are coming to ford fair bub

 

What tyres are they?

They are a budget tyre, I think "Lassa" is the brand http://www.lassa.com.tr/lassaweb/miratta.htm

Will adjust the pressure and check in a few miles.

Thanks

 

think you should just get the tracking checked, most places wont even charge to check it !!!

Never heard of them - perhaps they have not been manufactured very well?

Might be worth changing them for something else - I got Mowhawks for my ka 165/65/13 for £42 fitted and they were excellent!

 

lassa ant 2 bad as far as budget tyres go. the tyre brand wouldnt make the tyres wear unevenly.the uneven wear is down to the toe not being right

 

tyre pressue effect wear loads, what did you have them inflated to?

 

if the tyres are over inflated the wear will be mostly in the centre of the tread not on the edge.

 

Under inflation buggers the edges doesnt it

 

would do both edges yer, not just one side

 

yes thats true

 

5 years of tyre fitting and a michelin award has paid off i think

 

They are running approx 36 PSI, which is fully loaded pressure, wear is only on the inside edge, I have taken it for a drive and it does feel a little skitty every now and again.
Looks like a trip to town tomorrow then.

 

36 sounds very high! my non power steering ka runs 34 front and 26 rear as standard (when I had the standard wheels) I'm sure the pressures are lower for Power Steering Ka's (as yours would be).
As you say though, overinflated tyres would cause wear in the middle.
If the wear is on the inner edge, then it's likely you would be toeing OUT.
You can have great fun with tyre pressures, I had a mini for a couple of years, and I used to run the rears at higher pressure than the fronts. All depends on your driving style, but I loved the lift off oversteer ;-)

 

i would run all ka's 30 psi all round
