My avons need to be changed today really, think I've done just over 3000ish miles.

In that time I've had them worn all uneven and fucked before I got all my allignment sorted at leda.

I like driving fast, but I'm not wheel spinning and hand braking at all

hmm mine arnt wearing that quickly are avons a very soft compound? How bad where they before the alignment was sorted?

My tracking is spot on i thin just have a bit of posative camber on the n/s/f which is causing the outside of the tyre to wear
