Wheel Alignment - Odd Tyre Wear

[Zilli]

Hey all, im getting so feathering of the outside edge of the front left tyre, is this a toe adjustment issue you reckon? it seems to be the outside of the left and slightly the inside of the right....

[aaronng]

what are your alignmetn settings?
usually not toe because toe will self centre

[T-onedc2]

do you perform a lot of tight right hand turns? eg. u-turns or tight roundabouts

lost the paperwork Aaronng.... its stock settings, but bout 2.x - camber...

T-onedc2 i noticed this after hitting wakefield a month or so ago... ive put 200kms on it since...

what else would cause this sort of wear if its not toe?

[bennjamin]

since "Hitting" wakie ?
that means you still have the semis on ? If thats right , wakie is mostly right hand turns , inner left hand edge of the tyres is the contact patch and wear.

otherwise ?

if Wakefield is travelled in a clockwise direction then most corners are right turns giving same result, don't know the track myself

[aaronng]

camber, castor?

[Zilli]

You know what i mean Ben.... yeh still on Semi's... i dont have street tyres

So what you're sayig is the wear is probably as a result of the heavy right hand turn bias of the track?

Dont know what the castor setting is to be honest aaron

[bennjamin]

i think so. You did have that wear on the day ~

IMO take the tyres off before you ruin them. Then rotate them L/R and then F/R for the next track day

[Zilli]

anyone else have any opinions?

Too much Toe in.

Wear Pattern Name: One-Sided Shoulder Wear 2 - Feathering.
Characteristics: Rapid wear on one tread shoulder. Tread shoulder area has a "scrubbed" or "feathered" appearance. Excessive toe-in will feather the outside shoulder, excessive toe-out will feather the inside shoulder.
Possible Causes: 1. Excessive toe-in or toe-out setting. 2. Consistent, severe cornering. This is a common wear pattern on the near side front tyre on many four-wheel-drive wagons with live front axles.
