Here is what I received back after requesting the alignment to be as close to the minimum BMW specs, plus requested front toe to be closer to 0 (I hope that was the right thing to do).
Previously the factory Dunlops wore out at around 12kmi and I had an alignment performed last year to the minimum factory specs. This has improved tire wear as I'm currently around 16kmi on these tires with around 50% tread left. Only current issue is outer tire wear, but (guessing here) it looks like that is due to my front toe?
Thanks in advance for feedback  |
I got 20k miles out of my Dunlop's by switching them from left to right.
The tires performed the same with the intended inside on the outside...its not a big deal.
The e70x5 has built in positive camber up front and there's no camber adjustment on the OE setup. I plan on getting the Eibach springs and hopefully that will get me some negative camber and put the front camber to a more neutral position.
