A quick question about rear tyre wear - any experience/ thoughts would be welcomed! :thumbs:
Had the four wheel alignment checked and adjusted on my 996.2 (2003) C2 a few months back and I now have some moderate inner shoulder wear on the rear N/S tyre. It's pretty well documented that I do very little mileage in this car and what I do cover is at a respectable pace.
Had it done at a place 50 or so miles from where I live following some advice on here. Would have loved to have gone to CG but it didn't work out.
So here's the question; is it possible to set up a 911 (or any other sports car that has a degree of negative camber) without getting this sort of result?
The wear isn't terrible it's just that I wouldn't have expected to have got any wear considering the mileage I've covered since it was done. The O/S is also wearing slightly but not as badly.
I've only discovered this today as I had both the back wheels off. My plan is to call the place that did the job and to also speak to my indi who is servicing the car for me later in the week - based near Pyle, south Wales.
I think that that I'll end up also swapping left with right as the tyres aren't side-specific so that I get a bit more wear out of them.
