15k on the fronts is not terrible on these cars. But try, at the very least, a neutral setting (0.0) for the front toe...a degree or two positive is also good.
15k on the fronts is not terrible on these cars. But try, at the very least, a neutral setting (0.0) for the front toe...a degree or two positive is also good.At 32k miles I am on my 3rd set of front tires for my 2014 Gran Turismo S. I have had a couple of alignments one indy shop , one dealer to factory spec, but the inner fronts still seem to wear out at about 15k miles. I'm guessing that a tad less negative camber might solve this issue without affecting handling too much.
Has any one out there found alignment specs for the front that keep the car from eating front tires? If so could you please share them with me
Thanks,

DoneI still cannot understand why this topic is not a "Sticky" thread with answers on this website.
Sticky buttons, Alignment, Variators, ect...questions come up almost weekly.
Insane that these frequent topics are not Stick Threads WITH answers....
This is a great forum.Done

We aim to please. The risk is we end up with a hundred sticky threads, and people will start their own anyway.This is a great forum.
Thank you.
Are we going off this then? Should we use this for 20inch rimsDiscussion Starter • #3 • 2 mo ago (Edited)
Here’s the before and after. A&A Tire is a big shop, 5 Hunter Alinement racks. Maseratis are rare, so the lead guy did it and let me watch (bought him a few beers) on their new rack. The Mas was in the computer so it went well. See pics. The only change from factory was to go from -0.06deg to +0.06deg toe. That was the consensus recommendation from the last major thread on the subject. Car handles much better, no more wandering.

I meant is this the alignment we should be doing for our 20 inch rims? Should I go off these specs, was looking for some positive reinforcement.Yes 20" wheel, it's right at the top. View attachment 136216
Are you experiencing any issues with your current alignment? Premature tire wear or the car pulling to one side?I meant is this the alignment we should be doing for our 20 inch rims? Should I go off these specs, was looking for some positive reinforcement.
Well I need to change the tires on my car, I thought it was normal to do a wheel alignment when you put on new tires/balance.Are you experiencing any issues with your current alignment? Premature tire wear or the car pulling to one side?
True, a new alignment is customary with most when you put on a set of new shoes. Member Cynabar has noted good results from his alignment numbers so you can surely see how they will work for you.Well I need to change the tires on my car, I thought it was normal to do a wheel alignment when you put on new tires/balance.
Hmm, I never subscribed to that practice .. absent any signs of uneven wear in the old tires, or the car pulling to one side, or if you hit a heck of a pot hole.. not sure why you would do an alignment . Balance , sure, but alignment may be overkill with every tire change . IMOTrue, a new alignment is customary with most when you put on a set of new shoes.

Right you are, apologies.. I read past the most too quickly ..☺. Must be the same “most” crowd who replace perfectly good rotors with every brake pads change .. 😉Me neither Dan, that's why I said most
I only fix it when it's broken...
No apology needed friend...and I'm sure it's that 'rotor crowd'Right you are, apologies.. I read past the most too quickly ..☺. Must be the same “most” crowd who replace perfectly good rotors with every brake pads change .. 😉
