Rodeo wheels

Post by aidannorris »

I am looking to buy 2 spare alloy rims with tyres for a RA LT rodeo, anyone know any good places around brisbane or anyone online?


Also I have come across a problem with the passanger side tyres getting uniformally worn on the outside edge on front and back, is this a problem with the rodeo?

cheers

Rodeo's
Prado's(newer ones)
Subaru's

all do it,

outside edge, front tyre. it's not the alignment as such. it's due to cornering.
Take note next time you see a soccer bus (prado) hurling round a roundabout. the left hand front tyre just gets swallowed underneath, because the vehicle over steers.

Take it to a tyre joint, not Dale the dickhead discount tyres, somewhere decent, they should be able to fix it up for you.

oh by the way, you are welcome to have the Alloy's off my RA LT 4x4 Rodeo for $170 each.


pm me if you are interested.

Its normal on a lot of vehicles for the outside of the near side tire to wear more due to the camber on the road. On some vehicles if its bad it pays to rotate side to side and to rotate the tire on the rim if this has already been done.

"Take note next time you see a soccer bus (prado) hurling round a roundabout. the left hand front tyre just gets swallowed underneath, because the vehicle over steers."

This is actually understeer and the vehicle doesnt turn as much as the tire is. Oversteer is when the vehicle turns more than the front wheels are turning. eg drifing and the back is sliding.

sorry i disagree with the road camber.
but you are right, wrong terminology oversteer-understeer.
