Wheel alignment

[that_guy_Ettiene]

Guys, need some help.
Attached is a pic of wheel alignment

done on my buddies Amarok.

The front wheels, now on the rear of the car, show more wear on the inside of the tyre.

Can some explain the print out to me.
VW Hatfield sent the car for alignment on the last service

Standard BMW set-up, for superior road holding, is for the rear to wear more on the inside

it is normal !

The above is for an Amarok.

Yeah, Amarok bakkie.
It has BF Goodridge All Terrain tyres but the tyre in question has more wear on the in side, but not consistent even wear.
The outside knobblies is like 10mm high and the next one less than 5mm, then again the next knob 10mm and so on....

If that makes sense...

BFG AT tyres are known for weird tyre wear when not rotated every 7/10k kms... Part of the problem is the wheel alignment with either the camber or toes being out, this is exacerbated by the chunky design of the blocks.

Unfortunately, the setup doesn't allow you to adjust for normal tyre wear in lots of German modern cars.
With perfect tyre wear, bent the arm might be the only option.

The problem is highlighted in red above. BFG has to be the most over-rated and over-priced a/t tyre on the market.

Tell your mate to buy a better tyre next time.

Given the massive sidewalls on the tire there will be alot of camber dilution so camber will not be the problem given that both before and after numbers are within spec.

Toe at the front is a problem being negative before alignment this will eat the insides

one of the rears is also slightly toe out

I would expect the fronts were the ones to have eaten the insides the most if they were not rotated
