hey Joe u thought about putting bigger tires on the back then on the front.

So if u can get 2 good tyres put em on the front and put new ones on the back till u "wear em in" :burnout: then do it again:)

Hmm maybe this is me thinking out loud:confused: But im pretty sure u can put wider tires on stock rims. Gradenko did it:uh-huh:

Boostzor, i don't think ATESSA likes having different sized tires front and rear, it wants identical widths all the way around.

I just found out today that I need new tires as well (rears). Tire place I was at (Ian Diffen Canning Vale) had 2nd hand tires to suit out rims for $35 each. Might want to try that pva, if half tread is all you need.

Jesus Joe, that was weeks ago... they may have them still but if they don't, plenty of other tyre joints sell 2nd hand rubber. Ring around.

Don't you think you should replace them soon? If nothing, it'll save you from a yellow sticker and a $75 fine.

Haha :bahaha:

Joe, those tyres you have on are waaaaaaay to bald, i swear those front tyres have no corners on them and are smooth. I saw them months ago and needed changing then, lol. Its no wonder it gets so sideways around roundabouts, in the dry. It's not worth risking it, especially when you need those tyres for braking. Unless you can find some half decent 2nd hand rubber, i say fork out for some new tyres :P

insurance doesnt cover you if crash with non-australian spec tyres, its considered as unroadworthy

joe if you wonah be stingy just go out at night and take the tyres out of the tyre shops bins (yes this has been done before) but if i were you id just buy some 205s they cant be that expensive

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
