Just booked my my02 in for 4 wheel allignment next week. Handling is fine at the minute but the rear tyres are wearing far too quickly (to quickly to be caused by my driving style) so getting the suspension allignment checked.

I know siezed bushes are common but how common? Is it almost certain? 10% chance? 50% chance? Has anyone not had siezed bushes?

 

Flip a coin.

 

i wonder if i have the same prob ive only got 4.5k out of a set of bridgestones

 

There is no rhyme or reason to if they will be seized or not. Chris Franklins experience of 120 odd S2000's has not given any stats as to what age/mileage or condition is common. Very random.

Hence LTB's rather helpful reply above

 

I'd say that is better odds than a seized bush.
I would guess at least one of the front castor adjusters is seized
BTW are the rear wearing unevenly side to side or just on the inside edge of each tyre

 

just checked my rear tyres again not much life in themand ive done less miles than i though i do rag it but that does seem excessive, 11k was about the death on a front set on the type R even with a lot of spirited driving

 

So how many miles did you get out of them
And is the wear uneven from drivers to passengers side?

 

just under 4k and they are on the min tread mark, even wear across the back i am pissed at it but i think it must just be a heavy boot , but ive never even squealed away on a standing start

 

Don't be pi$$ed
Drive the S hard and that is what it does!
I got the same out of my last rear set!

 

i dont know if tht made me fel better or worse lol, but there has to be a compromise between road holding and longevity , if so (here we go ) what tyre gives good value/thrills for the money
