Bigger wheels help.

I agree with Jono about the -.9deg camber, any more than that on my SE with V8 wheels, and the tire wears too fast on the inside edge.

I have my alignment settings at home for my SE with V8 wheels.

Main change was rear camber to V8 spec, and front toe-out to V8 specs.

Good advice chaps, thank you.

I might give the S4s settings a try when I get back from Iraq and take the car on an airfield to throw it around a bit to see if that cures the problem.

I hope the new rears will give me some wheelspin for next years Furball runs. It was great fun spinnning the rears on those Alpine hairpins.

I had Toyos on the car and thought they were great. Good grip and good feedback.

The Dunlop SP9000 s on the S4s wheels are not up to the same standard as they lost grip on a rounderbout in the dry a couple of months back. I don't like them at all.

I still have to say though, the GT3 wheels did feel better.

The other thing you might need to do is to bed the tyres in - when mine were new at the front they needed to scrub properly, you can see how much of the tyre is getting worn if you do some serious left and right understeering and then look at the wear.

G'luck in Iraq - not my choice of vacation but stay safe !
