    They're not zero camber stock, so getting it back to spec isn't a problem in itself.

    It's toe that chews tyres out.

      So aim for 0mm toe in?

        It's within spec now, so might as well leave it.

        It will have a negative impact on the way the car drives, in the turning department.

          1-2mm. 0mm on the rear will make it tramline & wander.

            Thanks again guys.

            Been very informative.

            I'll pay more attention to rotations but I would have thought that the mechanic would have informed me at the recent service.

            I've decided to do all the minor services myself going forward so will rotate them at least every 15k.

            Hoping to get 60k out of the tyres which I think is reasonable for a daily driven car (the recently replaced front tyres did approx 60k and could have done another 15k).

              I wouldn't hold my breath looking for 60k out of the 003s. I run them on my Stage 2 Polo and do mainly highway driving on my commute. 40k seems to be the distance and after 18 months the rubber has gone well off, with a noticeable drop in feel.

              This is my 3rd set of Bridgestones and for the money they rock. I have always hung out to get the 4 for 3 deal. Aprila nd November
