    Default GenII MPS3 - Camber & Tyre Wear

    So I had my GenII booked in on Saturday for a alignment, balance and rotation.

    Tyrepower refused, as the inside tread was worn significantly.

    I opted for a 2nd opinion at Bob Jane T-Mart, who also confirmed that the tyres are pretty much illegal.

    Pricing on the Dunlop SP2050's $600 ~ $700.

    Looking at replacing with Maxxis MA-Z4S Victra's - 225/40/R18s. (Happy to take advice from anyone in respect to other options...)

    Problem is, my MPS3 has only done 22,600km!

    Any other GenII owners having issues with tyre wear...?

    NB. Remainder of tyres prolly have >10,000km left on them...

    was it all 4, or just the fronts? i know on mine, pre-vic cruise i got my tires rotated, and the ones that were originally at the front, had the inside 2-3cm totally smooth... the outsides were fine, 50-40% tread left

    Left hand side = worse than the right side, but, fronts cooked more than the rears.

    The Gen II's have a different Toe/Camber setup that causes this don't they? Other than that, the difference in sides can usually be attributed to road camber...

    Know totally what you are saying Dan!
    My fronts were absolutely gone around the time of the floods....same thing.....massive inside wear. Rears weren't as bad but were illeagal and had to be replaced as well. After discussing with several tyre shops they all seem to think that the cars setup is such that the tyres will always wear first on the inside .
    Here's what one of my fronts ended up looking like....after 30,000km (pretty happy with that)

    Apparently my allignment was fine so that was not the cause as had a couple of places check it before they were replaced.
    Ended up going with the Kuhmo KU31's 225/40/ R18 which I've been very happy with so far....about 1000k's on them now.
