:happy2: Thanks Joe! Looks like that's a sacrifice made by most lowered cars then....
Shame really, as I want my new Michelin Pilot PS2 to last forever! They are awesome!

Yeah I think they are amazing! yep 10mm spacers and H&R -30mm springs

If they get set up by someone who knows what they are doing then you should not get uneven wear on your tyres unless you add some camber to the set up.  :smiley:

its not the lowerd-ness that does the wearing, its the camber as TC said. my susspension is fully set up (by awesome gti  :embarrassed:) and has been laser aligned, but still get uneven were.  :smiley:

But you have not got any camber on yours Joe. Red robin has got camber on his rears set up by VWR and he has reported no uneven tyre wear thus far.

SKAVIA:
Surely any car with negative camber (front or rear) would wear the inners of the tyres more, as thats the part of the tyre which is bearing the most load and has the most contact with the road surface?
