**TEST** tire wear, hand typed

I've inputted all this by hand for NOLA.

So, 2004 S55 ,severe outside trie wear on the rear. MBZ dealer says alignment is in spec, still eats the outside edge off in 5k, right down to the nylon. They're trying to tell me it's a faulty ABC module, jacking the *** end up. No way it can get the camber that far out / that jacked up without me knowing it. Car drives fine, no ill behaviour. Maybe we'll get a Maserati Quattroporte, or I like the Lotus Evora S. Should wait for the new Esprit for 2013 I suppose. No BMW compares, what else is there to look at..

I hope this doesn't have hot links- if this worked, let me know and I'll type my issue instead of pasting it like before, THANKS nola!

Thanks DGulliver. The other post has no hotlinks... and since you have an aswer there already, I will lock this one and allow the other one to live.

All, the issue was that DGulliver posted his tire wear problem some days ago, and inexplicably it contained a number of hotlinks hidden behind some words that were redirects to another site. Our spam filter caught it, and DGulliver and I have been cooperating to figure out what was going on. Alas, we've no idea, so I'll just lock the thread and file it under "interesting things that I don't understand". If anyone has any idea feel free to PM me.
