Alignment specs for new tires? Toe, Camber, Caster
Alignment specs for new tires? Toe, Camber, Caster
I’ve been looking online and can’t find any specs for the oem camber, toe, or caster for a Mini Countryman s 2012. Is there a recommended amount for these from the factory? Looking at my car from behind the toe on my back left wheel appears to be off compared to the right. I’m planning on getting new tires soon and wanted to find out the specs I should have them aligned to.
The tires I’m looking at are the Vredestein Quatrac 5.
I’m mainly considering them due to the price $457 for 4 and the numerous good reviews. If anyone has tires for a similar price please let me know and how you’re liking them, or if anyone is running these.

I’d ask for front and rear toe at
about half the numbers listed,
front camber about even left to
right and near the upper part
of the range (closer to -60’), rear
camber about even left to right
and nearer to the lower part of
the range listed (closer to -1,20’).
Dont worry about caster, can’t do
much about it anyway.

They should understand it. Also, make sure you get a print out with the "After" numbers.
Most important thing to look for, is that the right side numbers are as close as possible to the left side numbers - you want the right and left side to be THE SAME. Also, make sure you have toe IN on the front and back, not OUT.
