TR6 Alignment

[EWD]

Hi Folks,
Greetings from Virginia.
My TR is tracking fine and holding a straight line with no pulling either way. But, noticing abnormal wear on the inside edge of the front tires and need to correct. I’m running P205/70R/15 tires instead of the OEM 185/15. Would the tire size difference have any effect on the alignment specs?
Thanks,
Will

Wheels and tires don't control alignment unless mechanical components of the steering and suspension systems are worn. Exaggerated adjustment can mask wear and keep the car "tracking fine and holding a straight line with no pulling". My TR3 seemed fine until I adjusted toe in to spec. Then it was all over the road. Full rebuild of the front end solved the problems.

Morning Bob. Thx for your reply. I've done a complete front end rebuild but have never aligned or adjusted. Everything was adjusted to where it was before disassembly; so it was probably out to start with. I need to learn how to do this anyway.

On anything but toe in, the "how" is drive it to a shop that has a front end rack (and a fairly new one at that).

Same issue resolved, inside tire wear, old shop did alignment manually, better but not solved. Front end rebuild mine got 4 wheel computer alignment from another shop, anytime I put new 205/70/15 repeat, always good to hear alignment still where it was the last time

Just returned from an alignment. Toe in was way off. Everything appears ok. Tracking nicely and the steering has eased up.
thx.

Good you got it sorted, pro alignment extends the wear life of your tires, improves handling/ride
