If your on 20" rims i would recommend goodyear Eagle F1, but if you're noticing them getting chewed up quick you may need to get the alignment looked at on a Hunter system especially if you're lowered:thumbsup:
Hi
I’ve got issues with my T6.1 T32 wheel Alignment. Excessive wear on the outsides on the fronts of my 18” Maxxis tyres. 9500 miles and I’m through the tyres. Any recommendations for anyone in East Sussex? Thanks.

@BognorMotors (Oli) - Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I don't suppose you could let me know the details of these wheels please? I.e. offsets & size? I'm assuming these are 9J all round? Or is this 9J and 9.5J staggered? I'm looking to replicate this exact set up :thumbsup:
Had my alignment done today see the before and after pics, i noted the front was still out, the guy tells me that its something to do with Vw vans?
I wanted to pull him up on it but i vaguely remember a discussion on here about this before.
Was i fobbed off or is it a thing?
T32 lowered on B14s
Read up on the Hunter threads as there's a right way and a wrong way for the operator to set up a T6... possibly as empty but give a look and you'll find the info on here as for tyre places anywhere with an Hunteralignment setup.
...springs from vdub motors, because of this VW wouldn’t get involved as it had been lowered etc.
I took it to Bram Racing for the hunteralignment, I drove away and it was exactly the same. I took it back and got the same result. Third time I set the steering wheel at 11 o’clock then asked them...

The reason lots of suppliers offer 275/40 is because it is available very cheap with many options(It’s a Range Rover size so well supported by the manufacturers) . It is oversize and too big for your front wheel.
The Bilstein B14’s are a great option, but in the Komfort version - we haven’t...

I can concur what @BognorMotors says. I had a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres fitted by Oli on 26 October 2021 to date I've done 20509miles and the rears are just about ready to be changed. I changed the fronts in October last year for a smaller profile, not sure on the mileage then but there...
I would make sure it aligned correctly on a hunter and run your pressures for 20” wheels between 36 - 40 when loaded. We see, driven normally, around 15K+ miles out of tyres.
...reason I changed them was because they were perished and cracks had appeared in the tread grooves. (Which reminds me, I’m not happy about their premature demise so I’m going after Protyre for some compo)
I do have Powerflex adjustable front/rear bushes and a good Hunteralignment after fitting.
Get a decent 4 wheel alignment done, ‘Hunter’ are one of the best, unless you are very low they should be able to get the rear within tolerance without adjustable bushes, it will be the best £80 you spend. Mine is -90mm and get 12K + out of tyres
