Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Heavy driving on stock geo would wear the outside of the tyres not the inside, so it's unlikely to be a result of being used heavily in anger.

Suggestion · Original poster

Presumably some alignment required, or could it be too much negative camber / track spec but mostly used on the road?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I went to look at a 718 Cayman (private sale) but the tyres were worn on the inner shoulders of both fronts, rears fine. Presumably some alignment required, or could it be too much negative camber / track spec but mostly used on the road? Tread was 4MM on the outer edge, then 3mm, then just the inner shoulders were very worn. Would presume incorrect camber or toe ? thanks

POST 2Original post

More likely to be too much front toe? It would need to have a hefty negative camber setting to wear the front inners which you could probably see visually. It would also need additional parts to get camber greater than -1.5 degrees. Probably just done a lot of straight road/motorway miles? It just needs new tyres and a geo setup by the sound of it. Heavy driving on stock geo would wear the outside of the tyres not the inside, so it's unlikely to be a result of being used heavily in anger. Edited by Twinfan on Tuesday 31st August 14:54

POST 3Original post

The set up of my Spyder wears front inside shoulders in 6-7000 miles, my local guy sets it up and it drives fantastically (much better than on stock settings) but the price is tyre wear.
