Evening all , just a quickish one...!

Me car passed its MOT on Saturday with flying colours.....But the chap at the garage said the Inside of the Rear Tyres were starting to wear...

i've heard this is a common problem on 850's , but how do we cure it..? :slap:
Camber Angles & Tracking or ??

Could it be i've gone from 16" to 17" wheels..?

Better tyres. T5s have always be FW tyre eaters.

Vredestein Ultracs - for sure the hardest and best grip combo I have yet found. 12K of a set.

Dude sounds to me like yer rear wheels are out of alighnment! Yes they can be adjusted. Just pop along to ELITE in Rainham, Essex and they will definately sort it out. Costs £50 but imo it is worth every penny. All experienced mechanics and look after yer motor. I have heard they are the best in the south east, people have driven down from the borders for wheels and tyres at great prices on the shelf (none of this next day delivery bull)!
Your car will drive like new when u leave, i gaurantee it.
Check em out on the A13. u cant miss em. :anmflower
