iwanprice12 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Having recently had an MOT (car passed with only a couple of advisories), both front tyres seem to have worn on the inside shoulders. The tyres have only done approx 10k miles (Falken Z919) but now need replacing. I also have the same tyres on the rear (slightly newer so little less milage) but nowhere near the same wear. With the fronts wearing on the inside shoulders, would I be right in thinking the wheels need to be aligned? The tracking was done before by a local garage but wasn't too impressed (although service for tyres etc is great and always manages to match prices and a loyalty discount 😉) Therefore I'm faced with 2 dilemmas; 1) Fit another set of the Falken Z919 on the front? (Around 6mm left on rears) 2) is there anywhere in South West Wales that does 4 wheel alignment frona reasonable cost? (I live about 8 miles west from Llanelli) Thanks, Iwan Edited June 2, 2015 by iwanprice12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwanprice12 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think 350zed found somewhere up near him Great, thanks. Will pick some brains! I think a friend of a friend has the kit (does autograss etc) but was just wondering if anyone has had a good experience from a reputable garage.

roscopervis Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) It's only a bit of a drive to Bridgend - but go to Avia Auto's - Andy there is an absolute legend when it comes to alignment and cheap too, especially considering what he does. I had my Zed done there, he won't leave it go unless it's right. You can watch him work and he'll explain it all so hopefully you'll know what to look for in future. Very recommended.

350zedd Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Had my alignment done with Supertracker at Maesgwyn Garage, Capel Isaac. Highly recommended...use them for everything if we cant do it ourselves. Price will vary if they have to unseize anything, but usually around £40 Its about 25 miles from you out in the sticks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for the advice gents! Once I get some new rubber, will be on the look out. Bridgend isn't that far & used to driving to the sticks so either! í ½í¸‰ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised Capel Isaac is near Llanfynydd, brother in law is from there! He probably knows the garage well! (He's a mechanic also) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
