  • crap, I think I need new tyres

    I never noticed the wear on the inside until I parked my car at an angle on the driveway. I mostly looked at the drivers side tyre (which has 10k less on it)

    feel like an idiot for not doing a proper check, could have ended pretty badly

    youch - thats down to the belts.

    Running abit too much camber? Get it checked when you replace the tyre/s

        Camber ain't adjustable.More likely toe in/out.Try the Bridgestone Adrenalines.Timbo has a set and is happy with them.

            They give a standard 10% off for all watercooled members and give great service as well . You might be luckey and squeeze a little more. Let us know what you decide on!

                  Also been quoted $240 for Falken RT615 in 17's.

                    NO, no nooooo! Paul....learn from my mistakes! RT615's are made from the hardest compound known to man and get harder with wear, they grip like butter, and are as quiet as a violent thunderstorm. They might be OK on RWD cars, but they don't suit the Polo...and you can get Adrenalins in 17 cheaper...and they are much better

                      I strongly recommend Michelin Preceda PP2s on 17s. They are awesome, not sure about how much damage they do to your pocket though, dealer put them on.
