Tyre Wear (average?)

PPE not going to help then is it?!!!  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

You could always give it to me.........  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Just wait until I lose my temper with it next.  Seems to happen about once every 12 months or so when I break something really expensive.

LOL!!! I'll be waiting...........just don't forget to let me know!!!!  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Start taking those turns with a nice pace and you'll get even tyre wear as a bonus  s;) s;)

Ok - don't take this the wrong way as i might be sounding daft here but.....I understand the speed you take a corner at would mean they last longer but can it make them wear differently/

Yeah, think of it this way. Negative camber means the wheels are a bit like this:
//CAR\ (I'm sure you knew that, it's just easier to explain with a pic  s8) s8) )

So most of the cars weight is on the inside edge of tyres. Now if you keep driving straight, it will only wear the inside edge. If you take a corner at low speed, it's still the same. But when you take a corner at "proper" speed, the weight shifts outwards, the suspension does its job and the wheel turns like this:
//CAR|| (when taking a fast left corner)

And that's how you get even wear with fast cornering  s;) s;)

And the lesson learnt Bigun is start to get a few more windies in at high speed  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

so let me get this right

motorway driving = less wear = dont change tyres so much = more money for other mods  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

unfortunatley also = boring!  s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

But are you really pushing the car, or just going faster than the rest?  s;) s;)

I don't think it'd be too responsible to talk about this on here.

Just trust me on this one - i live in the country and all we have are delightful B-roads   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Well she's gone in today to have the strut top mounts replaced, the leather on the door cards re-applied, the fuel gauge checked, the scuff plates re-applied and to check the tyre wear.

Just a small list  s;) s;)
