Re: Rear Wheel tracking, N/S/R tyre gone after 7000 miles.

hi ulrich, the fact is though right that you've lowered your car and put 20inch wheels on, the suspension is not set up for this so its going to cause excessive wear on your tyres. best thing p[ut it back to standard if your not happy with it. matt :cool:

Re: 1.9 DCi 130 sounds like I'm running on all terrain tyres...

yes jack the car up but leave the wheel on and shake it side to side to see how much movement is there , there shouldnt be any play also shake it from top to bottom, thats usually how you can tell if its gone.
