Tire wear: excess toe angle seems to be the culprit
by designman on Sat Oct 02 19:57:33 PDT 2004
If the plane of rotation is not parallel to the direction of travel the tire scrubs, that is, grates against the road. Excessive wear on the inner edge of the tire points to excessive toe-out. Of course, negative camber on BMWs would exacerbate it. Conversely, toe-in creates excessive wear on the outer edge. I would imagine that in BMWs efforts to create optimal performance settings tolerances are sometimes exceeded. So Atomicpunk (post #825), I think a toe adjustment on the rear wheels would get you longevity on those tires. Ditto ajj (post #819). BTW if anyone disagrees with me, don't shoot the messenger. I got this from what appears to be a well-written if not totally-comprehensive article that appeared in Grassroots Motorsports written by engineer John Hagerman. The regulars around here usually provide very helpful information so I am in no way trying to be confrontational. Warthog, LMAO, you're too much ;-) Here's that article: http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html
High Temperature/ Off Road

Eric, I wish I could remember more, but I have read about the high temperature power robbing issues on other message boards (not Toyota). It seems the discussion centered on the O/2 sensor and that it had to cut out fuel based on the sensors inability to match the correct oxygen content with fuel. Warmer air temperatures starve the engine of the correct air to fuel mixture. I know I've read that the optimum operating situation for any naturally aspirated vehicle is sea level and about 40 degrees Fairenheit. I think I'm missing a key point here, but I can't remember what it was. In any case, high elevation as well as high temperatures rob the engine of power. Vodgut, nice pictures. I live in Denver and want to take the 4Runner on some trails as well. However, like you, I don't want to damage a new vehicle. I have a guidebook for 4X4 trails and will try one in the next few weeks. I'm willing to takle some trails that are moderatatly rated. Last year I took a nice ride over Hagerman Pass (between Leadville and Basalt). Some large boulders, steep inclines, and a great stream crossing (good photo op) yet still easily passable with a good 4WD - and the views were great. Even had to drive through snow in July. Keep us informed on your adventures. It's great to see others use these vehicles off-road.
