Default Clare - are smaller car tires easier to balance than SUV tires?

Just refresh my memory here, was it the *inside* or the *outside* of
your tread that was wearing more and with the longitudinal feathering?


Hi Xeno,
I'm sorry for causing confusion.

The feathering is on the OUTSIDE edge of both front tires.

If I said otherwise, it was my mistake.

Camber scrub tends to affect the *outside* edge of the tyre. For it to
affect the *inside edge*, the camber on the tyre would need to be going
well into the negative. It really can't be doing that.


You can feel it on the edge of the tire closest to you when you stand next
to the tire, which is the OUTSIDE edge.

I apologize if I said otherwise.

I need to learn more about camber scrub in slow speed turns!
