Default alignment

yeah in the spring, .... my tires were brand new!... so about 4 months later,
now the entire inside is bald... i got an aligment today.... so im just wondering if i can still use the same tires... or if i should get some new tires... which i already have


also finding a place that will align a lowered car.... or even with a kit is hard to find... i was going across the city.... there are two place i konw that can do it... kal tire on 42nd... aand fountain tire on fairview... fairviews is a drive on... cause its lower then the ground

cost me about 80 bucks including gst!

so yeah all the people that are lowered or will be lowering make sure u get an alignment...
i was going to get mine before. but then kept putting it off,,, i eventually forgot about it!

You could have the tires swapped from left to right, and then try to wear the rest of the tread... but if they're already bald on a portion, they might not be that safe to use.

(By swap I mean dismount them and remount them, since they're directional tires)

You could also use Trio Motors in the NE...kinda behind the old IKEA and next door to where the VW dealership used to be near the Marlborough Mall......they do a number of competition alignments for guys in the Calgary Sports Car Club....rally and solo cars.....will set up the car any way you like it. They aligned my S2000 and a previous solo car and did a great job both times....going above and beyond to give me the max. camber or whatever it was I was looking for.

Oh, and those outsides of the tires.....just come out to a few solo events and those pesky outsides of the tires will level out!

Yep,......mostly the outsides of the tires tend to wear on autox courses due to the high lateral loading......the courses are mostly corners....you work the wheel a lot!
