[s-cars] tire wear

[James Murray (LMC)]

It's a funny thing this suspension setup on the UrS4 & UrS6...some seem to
need camber plates because of uneven tire wear and some don't, why I don't
know. I assume when I find the time to install my new suspension I will need
camber plates because in my current stock setup I can't get the darn it to
stop wearing and I'm at the limits according to the alignment shop that's
tried twice already.

	Jim,
	I have the same suspension setup (Eibach/Bilstein Sport) and have NO
	uneven wear on the tires.  It has been at least 20,000 miles since
the
	suspension install, of those at least 10000 miles were on old 16"
tires
	that were evenly worn, then 3000 miles on snowtires driven on mostly
dry
	roads from CA to CO and back with no appreciable wear at all, then
new
	17" tires for the last 7000 miles.  I looked at the tires last
weekend
	and they are wearing very smoothly and evenly.  No camber plates.
Stock
	alignment specs.

	Marc,

	I also have Eibachs & Bilsteins and I am getting tremendous wear on
the
	inside of primarily the front tires.  Is this something you are
getting
	too?  Can it be solved with the camber plates?  I know that this has
	been discussed ad nauseum on the list, but I would like someone to
	distill the information.  Are you using stock alignment?

	I'd appreciate your help.  Also if you know of an alignment shop
with
	experience on these cars in the Denver area, that would be great.
I'm
	buying tires today.
