Well that's quite a good price on the tyre switch then, although I would have got totally confuddled as to which one went where

its easy with the Advans they have pretty rotation arrows, and letters saying this side out...

this is why i needed new tyres:

(this is the worst, but other 3 were close to this!!!)

What causes that sort of wear

That inner edge wear looks like it's rubbing on something.

Clive had very similar when an oversized tyre was rubbing on the inner arch.

Also looks like over-inflation with the centre of the tyre wearing.

24PSI and my driving style

that and its been lowered quite a lot, so high camber on rear (circa 3 degrees, with toe in for stability)


i normally run the tyres at 26/24 psi winter, and 24/22 summer...

doubt over inflation at 24-26psi...

doubt the rubbing too, as its a 205/50/15 on the rear... i think its just the high cambre, toe in, and super soft R1-R compound, that tyre lasted 12,000 miles, which is pretty damn good IMO...

forgot to add, i have 195/50/15s on the front now insteat of the 185/55/15's that were on there originally...

anyone running 195 fronts? any issues with rubbing? (i have not found any yet...)

A lot of people run the 195 on the front with no problem.

it my not be the head gasket,sometime the liners need reseating,but its a head off job.we can do mot work,and we have a few second hand exhaust systems and cat from when customer fit new sports systems.and we have a loan metro gti customers can take and i charge £35 per hour,

This thread brings up a point I have been thinking of having just lowered my MGF, camber adjustment.
I see on Mike Satur's site he has camber adjustable lower arms for the rear suspension.
Does anyone make camber adjusters for the front?
Regardless, if they are priced like the Satur parts it may be cheaper to just buy tyres!

I am pretty sure that is what I have on mine, I will have to have a look when it stops raining !!

What is the max you can run front and back on 15's
