Hi, I have a JB1 and just switched to MAP6, after almost 3 years of MAP1. I use Shell 91, stock engine, no mods. 1.8 TSI 4motion 6MT It was preloaded with the following (for 93): 0.0 2.0 3.0 3.5 4.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.8 4.5 4.5 Boost safety @ 4.8 Are these good numbers?, or switch to the...

This makes sense, since my winter set of Continental WinterContact Si did not cup at all, and look perfectly fine, as opposed to the OEM Bridgestone all-seasons the car came with. Thanks for the reply. I may have added to the confusion myself. Maybe I have a bad set of oem tires, replacing...

Just wanted the car back within factory spec, and my tires to stop cupping primarily... I don't track, car is just a daily family hauler. I'm confused now. Isn't red bad, green good? The Before Measurement print-out shows alignment out of spec correct? I haven't bought tires yet, but I'm...

Can anyone tell me if these numbers are good? (at least, if it would be the cause of the cupping?)

I had an alignment done at a dealer in the GTA, a couple of weeks ago, and they charged me $120 + taxes for 4 wheels alignment. You may want to change dealership in the future. Would you care to name the dealership?

Had an alignment done, looks like all 4 wheels were off. I hope it sort out the cupping issues going forward, as I would hate to have a new set of tires start cupping again. One thing I noticed right away, was less noise (humming) from the tires now. It still there, but much less. No...

- I run the same spacers with the winter wheels/tires (different wheels), and there are no issues with that set. No unusual wear or cupping. - I removed the spacers last summer, and it didn't make a difference, it still cupped the tires. Seems to me that either the wheels are not balanced...

There is a High/Low pattern on the edge of the inside tire (the first set of blocks). Running the palm of my hand, I can feel the bumps (and see, as well as hear the tump, tump, tump noise while driving)

Thinking that the best course of action is to have an alignment done first at VW dealer, then new tires. Got quoted CAD$140 and 1.5 hours labour. Question 1: I'm running H&R spacers, 12mm front and 15mm rear. Should the spacer be removed before an alignment? Question 2: I was quoted CAD$120...

This is what is on my car, and why I used to inflate to 42 PSI. I now inflate to 36/37 PSI CTP - 42PSI by AWDWAGON, on Flickr The right side is the inside of the tire, where the arrow is pointing. I realize it's hard to tell, maybe due to the angle the picture was taken at, but it's...

I will also vouch for @ZERO815, he did my custom harness and supplied the coding for my euro tail lights. Everything works as intended. (y)

Having the tires over-inflated to 42 PSI would not cause cupping? If not, then it seems like everything is pointing towards an alignment. Will be doing it at the dealer, since it's a 4 motion, as per above recommendation. It's definitely not bad shocks/struts as the car is still fairly new...

No vibration at all. Cupping is worst on the two back wheels. Keep in mind that this was a fairly new car when it started cupping (summer 2019). Tires were mounted and balanced at the factory. These are the OEM wheels and tires. I just didn't rotate tires at all. I would run tires in the...

Tires are OEM, Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS (92H XL). I haven't replaced the tires yet, but don't want to buy new tires and have this happen again. Could over-inflating the tires cause the cupping?? (causing the wheel to bounce on pavement irregularities and over-working the suspension?)...
