Front Inside Edge wear on 2007 E63

OK Luke, I have 70kmiles on my E63 and I have been buying new tired from you guys every 12K miles, plus my Hankook R-s3s. So I am looking for some help.

If you do not want to do this on the open forum, PM me and I will close the thread.

This is the second set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrics which have been wearing like this. This set included a 4 wheel alignment at Performance Arts in Gilroy, CA who are know for doing good work. They had my caster bolts in stock in fact.

Here I am at about 12.5K miles and this is what I have on the fronts. The inside edge weare is nuts!

I would really like to get 25K out of the fronts. The rears go in 12-14k, and I know the reason for that.

Is this a toe or caster problem?

Thanks in advance.

Jon.E63.AMG@*.* (so you can look me up in your system).

depends on the weather
that type of wear is typically a combination of camber and toe out ... do you have the print out of the alignment angles after the alignment was done?

Check your ball joints and thrust arm bushings. 70k is probably enough miles for them to have gone bad. Mine went around 80-90k

I have the results on the alignment. I need to find them and then will post.

Thanks for the reply Luke. Piurists would say positive toe and negative toe, but given your normal audience, I gotcha.

Also, thanks for the heads up on the ball joints. I will check them
