New Tyres and Wheel Alignment

[charrold80]

Just got a fresh set of tyres (Falken 452s) and a proper wheel alignment yesterday.

 

Much better to drive now The front toe was out a bit, now it's so much nicer.

 

Not sure how much is down to the new tyres, the old ones were quite worn and the new ones aren't anywhere near scrubbed in yet, and how much is down to the alignment. Either way, wish I did it when I bought the car. But that said, I wouldn't appreciate it if I hadn't driven on the old tyres with a bit of dodgy alignment

 

It was ,ahem, interesting driving to work the other evening. 20mph in 5th gear and still spinning out the back end

 

Managed to get there in one piece and then got stuck in the work car park! Typical

fresh tyres and an alignment this time of year is a good thing to do.

 

usual scrub in time for wheels is about 500 miles but in this weather i'd say double that.

I took mine in for an MOT over the weekend and the guy said the back tyres are getting near to replacing and the fronts are wearing on the insides and recommended I get the tracking looked at. So as the car has been put to bed for the winter when spring comes I'm going for a set of tyres and tracking although the car feels OK with the steering I'll probably get the tyres from Camskills but can anybody recommend a garage to fit them and do the tracking.
