The USDM manual I have recommends zero toe at the front and 2mm of total toe in at the rear, probably for stability. If you want better wear from your tyres I would only run 1mm in or zero toe at the rear.

it is supposaed to veer left (slightly)...Originally posted by rayDC2R View Post
you dont want to veer right if you fall asleep do you?
you need pics of tyre wear to discuss it, plus more specs on KM of tyres. some inside front wear is normal on a DC2 with high KM tyres...... retired/Comment

it veers left more than slightly...
and tyres are almost gone... i mean still have tread... maybe 30k or 40k on them... but old ones didnt bald in the middle like these... they wore evenly including fronts...Comment

you have a problem then. thus need a new wheel alignment.Originally posted by rayDC2R View Post
bald in the middle? that is over-inflation usually?and tyres are almost gone... i mean still have tread... maybe 30k or 40k on them... but old ones didnt bald in the middle like these... they wore evenly including fronts...... retired/Comment

Bald in the middle.. interesting.
Some tyres are now running a different compound on the inner part of the tread, and a harder compound on the outer edges of the tyre. Perhaps this is why it has worn unevenly? What tyres are they?
Tinker is right though, usually this would indicate overinflation, however it's pretty hard to maintain overinflation for 30k kms, lol. I check my tyre pressures at least every 2 weeks and they are always a couple of PSI too low.

that is the pointOriginally posted by freakygeek View PostIf I had a Nitrogen bottle at home I would be all for the idea you don't need one...
ray - 30 or 40 thousand is OK, for tyres...
but it shows your alignment was set with "too much" toe out to avoid tyre wear.
with the related benefit of more responsive steering...
see how factory toe is 0'0, and yours was 0.4'0.4...
but - if you want *better tyre wear* - go factory settings 0mm front and 1mm toe in each side rear...... retired/Comment
