Welcome Tony :happy2:

 the issue you talk about on the mk5 chassis rear end is not uncommon and can cause strange tyre wear on the edges of the rear tyres, sort of a blocking type thing, I've seen it on a few sets of wheels I have taken off mk5's/Leons etc

I look fwd to your chassis and set-up input as TC has already said, it does sometimes get over-looked in the quest for more power :evilgrin:

Andy:
As Gaz mentioned ..i bought my car new of vw and it wore the inner edges of my tyres in 10,000 miles,you ask the dealers and they say it is set correctly :fighting:

wheels-inmotion:
The manufacturers settings are just a suggestion, not the law. We use our own settings on cars with historic problems, this is tested on research donor cars we continually monitor until we're happy with the wear pattern.

since i had my car lowered and it set up again the rear tyes are wearing spot on but i have just gone from 18" to 19" so i will have to watch them

wheels-inmotion:
Excellent..... What guys and girls need to understand is if the car is modified you cannot use the OEM data? If done it essentially "de-tunes" the modification. Most domestic calibrations on the modified car borders the realm of tyre preservation, in truth there are two arenas "preservation and performance", finding the one in the middle is the holy grail of chassis calibration.
