Just failed my MOT and need 2 new tyres The car has been scrubbing both fronts on the inner 1/3 so I am guessing my tracking is way out! I have done a search and found these settings, are they the best to use?, I am only taking it to a bog std garage to have it 4 wheel aligned OPEL/VAUXHALL FACTORY SPECS SPEEDSTER/VX220 ALIGNMENT (Valid for cars with 2 passenger (70kg each) on-board and ¾ tank full) FRONT WHEELS CAMBER: -0.06 (+0.06/-0.12) CASTER: +3.48 (+/- 0.12) TOE: -0.20 (+0.20/-0) REAR WHEELS CAMBER: -1.48 (+/- 0.12) TOE: +0.12 (+0.20/-0) Note: for TOE, a positive value will mean wheels pointing inward (converging), while negative the opposite.

FYI bog standard garages only tend to do front wheel alignment.


From TIS, front wheel

Have you had a Geo setup done???

These make the tyres wear loads on the inners for more grip. I think, lol

Not as far as I know, not sure if a previous owner did.

I just want to stop it scrubbing tyres
