I need some help!. I'm getting Eagle F1's fitted on my Legacy Turbo Estate (16"). I had problems with the outer edge of my SO2's (fronts) wearing bad. The tyre guys said that the tracking was well out and that was the problem, is that true?

I want the geometry set up for my heavy estate so I can get good handling and not excessive wear. (The SO2's were only on since 20th Dec 2002! and were well worn down before tracking was done!!!)
WHERE CAN I GET IT DONE PROPERLY IN THE NORTH WEST (AROUND MANCHESTER/ROCHDALE AREA).

Also what pressure should I have the tyres at. On the old tyres (SO2's on 15" alloys) I had them at 30psi. What about the F1's on 16" alloys?

Please help...

Cheers

Thumbs down

By the way I am getting the tyres fitted this weekend!!! Anybody has any comments on ABP Motorsport? They are based in Crewe, Cheshire. They do "FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND CAMBER CHECK. RESET TO FAST ROAD SPEC" at £92.50. Has anybody had any experience with them. If I don't get any reply from anyone I may have to go to them (its a bit far!!!).

Can't comment on ABP cos I've never used them, I use Demon Tweeks in Wrexham they have a laser 4WD tracking system, thinks it's about £50 plus adjustment charges.

Anyway I've booked in the Leggy with TSL to get the camber etc. sorted they gave the low down on fast road, track set up. I'll see how it comes out £105 excluding VAT seems reasonable. The distance I will have to travel does not though!!! Any comments on TSL and their stuff?

Thanks a lot mate! That's made me feel a lot better. What wheels have you got on? 205/50/16 by any chance? If so what tyre pressure do you reckon is best?
