Are these warrantable?

[Johnnynz]

Selling some tyres, they have some camber wear which I understood could be a warrant fail but after looking for details on the NZTA website I am now a little confused and not sure if this is bad enough to be a warrant fail... Anyone care to wade in based on pics below?

Cheers

Last one seems a fairly clear fail to me due to camber wear...

Also while I am asking dumb questions anyone got any ideas why I get such bad Camber wear? I rotate tyres, get regular alignments, yet the inside of my tyres always wears down to canvas long before the centre tread is anywhere near gone.

[lachlan]

id call them a pass . not down to the twi anywhere .

yeah front inside camber wear like that is caused bu not enough caster angle . noone bothers to tell you that when you get a wheel allignment or new tires tho .

My tyres have camber very similar to that just passed a warrent last week. As long as it doesnt cover more than 25% of the tyre and isnt worn through to the canvas then its a pass according to the WOF man. Do you have a printout from your last alignment?

[madmike]

Nup they are fucked.. Ya better give them to me....

Why don't we have a kudos or +1 or like button? they'll be fine, cos they're directionals I think, just have a good wof guy lol.

2nd and last ones a fail. 3rd ones borderline 1st one is fine

[Dvnt]

1st pass, 2nd borderline, 3rd &4th fail , ideally id put the 1st in the boot as the spare and replace the lot cause if you had an accident with them on the assessors going to ping you for them ;D

Selling them along with two sets of rims, if they dont sell I will scrap a set of rims and use them for my next trackday. I'm not stressed if there not warrantable because I am happy to just destroy them myself ha ha.

And no I dont Jord, I used to go to a tyre guy I trusted and used to get 0 camber wear, tyres wore perfect every time. Since I moved I have had nothing but trouble. Tried Mag n Turbo Palmerston North this time, so fingers crossed.

if you going to do a track day soon, then i vote keep them and just put them on the other side, so the inside camber become outside and visa versa

Have you tried John Bates WHEEL ALIGNMENT this is ALL they do, dont sell tires or rims all the do is alignments and suspensions

[Swindog]

Dave Thornycroft at TSV is the man too. Done a few setups with him. He used to design v8 supercar suspension.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

I might pop in to master bates while i'm in palmy, get alignment done

[newsuba]

All those tyres look OK.

WOF standard is 1.5mm depth across 3/4 of the width and around the entire circumference of the tyre.

x2 his work on Porsches is pretty good too.

Sweet as, I will look into both places,

I used to use Swartz tyres in Wanganui, have since I got my first car and the boss there did all my cars, he does amazing work.

B4 is proposing flipping the tyres, eg. take tyre off LF wheel and swap with LR so that the worn shoulder is now on the outside.

Evens out wear to a degree.

[driftrex]

last time i talked to a wof guy at vtnz when i was working for beaurepaires, was told that its no longer 1.5mm over 3/4 of the tyre,its got to have 1.5 over the entire tread now.

i went and talked to him after failing a car for 2 tyres that i thought should of passed.

but who knows could be wrong. i wasnt arguing cause it wasnt my car.

[Johnnynz]

I might run them by a local WOF guy and see what he says.

If he says no sounds like I'm destroying these on the track, I dont really feel right taking someones money if I'm not sure.

[B4 2000]

ill be happy to destroy them for you

[94 Leone]

who wouldn't?

[Johnnynz]

Thanks for the offers boys but I am more than capable ha ha

[94 Leone]

As the common riff raff youth would say

"DO A SKID!"

It had to be said.
