Rear tyres not round

<< < (2/2)

john_o:
on a lowered Ed30 and a std Ed35  i got the sawtooth/20p shape issue but only after approx 40,000 miles each time!
sounded like a wheel bearing (but wasnt)
heres the Ed35 ones from new (so 48k mileage!) : https://johnoldfield.blogspot.com/2020/08/golf-gti-edition-35-mot-48232-miles-and.html

which michelins and is your car lowered etc ?
whats the tread depth?

shail:
They are Michelin Pilot Sport 4.  Tread depth is 5 to 6mm. Car is lowered on springs.
.

I rang the garage. I think their '20p' comment is sawtooth wear  They said that it's to do with suspension setup and age of other suspension components.  They could fix it by doing alignment but he did say that the bolts on the rear us we to do alignment are normally rusted so can be a pain.  Won't help current tyres.

He said it's ok to drive but at some point it'll start to sound like a bearing is gone (as post above). Recommended alignment when I get new tyres. 

pudding:
PS4s didn't do that on mine, so I would say it's an alignment issue.
