N80Jamie Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Both of my front tyres are basically bold on the outer edges so is this the tracking that's out? Also, because of this im going to have to get some new tyres now! What's the best brand to go for? I want a fairly long life, decent grip in the wet and dry. Tyre size is 195/45r16 84vCheers guys EDIT: Thought i'd add the fact that my steering wheel doesn't sit straight when im actually driving straight if you know what i mean? lol. Its off to the left a bit. Anybody know how i can sort this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 try putting more air in the tyres and if you have coilovers add a little bit more camber Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'll put some more air in tyres tonight or tommorow then. I've already got some negative camber so can't be that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

N80Jamie Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 The tyres i've got on currently are the Toyo Proxies 4. These say '84v' on them and the Toyo T1R's say '80v', what is this and will i need 84v? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph1 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 The 84 is the load rating (84=500kg) the V is the speed rating (V=240kph, 149mph) 80=450kg, so it is only 50kg less load rating, best to speak to you local tyre place to see if you can go down to an 80 load rating tyre.You might be able to go to a H speed rated tyre, which is 210kph, 131mph.cheersRalph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Definalty a alignment issue mate! Make sure you get it aligned on a proper Hunter Alignment machine and make sure they have the correct settings for a Glanza. Otherwise it just wont be that good. If your gonna get it done may aswell get it done properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, is the off centred steering wheel to do with the alignment as well Liam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 it could be or it could be that someone has removed the steering wheel and not put it back on straight!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Off centred steering wheel is probably down to the alignment but as Rob said someone could took it off and not put ot back on straight. More than likely down to the alignment being out though.
