Default Tracking + Tyres

Hi all

Noticed today that my front tyres( Potenza RE040 ) are worn down to no tread on the inner tyre

Assume tracking is out or camber

where is the best place to sort this out and what tyres should i replace them with??

Julian

I think the best place for you to go is Powerstation, Most of us on here have at some time or other been there and have brilliant results.

As for tyres I can only suggest Goodyear GSD's I have them on at the moment and can't fault them wet or dry.

Jules,

Your tracking won't be out anymore as Powerstation have just sorted out the whole suspension!! the damage would habve been done in the land of the rising sun!

If you are only looking to replace two i would buy more of the same - if not F1's

Andy at Ace does tracking and wheel alignment. Might be worth a call

Had my 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s from the Fforestfach one at the end of last year - excellent price!

I'll second this Julian... new suspension and the tracking will be all sorted, don't touch it as it will be set for fast road like the rest of us

The other option is to stick a wanted up for 2 REO40's you may find someone has a few lying around in the garage, even if they are part worn it will keep you going for a while and have all the same brand fitted.
Then we can get you on some 18's later

As you local, pop in and see Grant at GT Tyres in Cwmcarn, he's the cheapest around our way.
