Do it by eye mate, then take it to a decent tyre place. I use Micheldever don't know if you'll get them in Yorks though!

Wheels look like they're 'facing' the passenger side tbh.

Yeah I was thinking it might be that, hard to take a pic dead straight on.

Might as well get it tracked properly mate. I'd advise a local garage rather than Kwik Fit or the like, would probably charge less.

I didn't do mine, just keep an eye on the tread levels. The place I usually take it wouldn't do it as they disagreed with it being so low
