Are these tyres worn out?
I recently took my car for a service at a local mechanic and he said the edge of the tyre was finished. I was just wondering if you guys agree with this [IMG][/IMG]

I am wondering if he tracked the car. Could be track wear or a bad toe adjustment. But the tire is not near the wear bars, so no it is not worn out.

Personally I'd rock them through the rest of the year then put on a fresh pair in the spring

Yeah, looks weird being just in that specific spot. I don't know enough about track wear on tires to tell the difference, but definitely I've heard the M2 wears the outside of the fronts pretty badly if you don't increase the negative camber.

If you continue in a short time you will reach the wires, do you have the car lowered? You have a lot negative camber.

Try aligning the wheels, it's too much wear for 2.5cm. With the alignment adjusted you will still be able to use that tyre. Last edited by Track/S; 09-15-2022 at 03:00 PM.. |

I'm guessing with the tread pattern those can't be swapped L to R to get that on the outside. Then fix the alignment? There's a lot of life left in that tire if you can fix the alignment
