possibly... I know this much... I have no warranty on my alignment cuz its not a "factory" alignment

Its a factory alignment... just not in the US...


The UK recommended specs are the upper limit of the US specs.

I might have been able to make an argument had I known that...

Oh well, too late now.

Thanks for the info though...

Skip, what do you think I should go with..... Its my daily driver the US specs or Euro specs.... Im running P205/55WR-16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S P225/50WR-16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. No one made a 245/45/16 for allseason, dunlop used to but Tirerack hadnt seen them in a while. I have little to no knowledge of alignment specs....
Winter time I would definitely recommend a less aggressive alignment. It will keep more of a contact patch on the road under normal winter driving. Getting an aggressive alignment for relatively straightline driving is counter-productive and will wear the inners that much faster.

those are the all seasons I just put on... I'm staying with the regular alignment for the winter, uk alignment when the s02's go back on.

I posted this stuff in a thread of yours or in response to your question previously. Same for the winter alignment recommendations.

I'm more concerned as to why you are purposely reducing your traction during the winter time.

I actually thought of that before getting the tires and alignment...

Because...

1) I will not be driving much at all in the winter

2) If I do drive I will take another car...

I only plan on taking my car out every week or so on a nice day just to ensure everything is working fine. Other than that its parked in the garage (finally, lol) ...

what wheels?

I don't know what you are talking about.

I believe he is talking about the package from up north that was packed really well and things arrived mint condition. So are they on yet?
