Front tires tracking width

[Gary Fowler]

After 2 years of running the P 7010, I got to trailer it to the dealer. When loading it on the trailer, I found that the front tires were 83" outside to outside at the bottom of the tires. I found this out when loading it on my trailer that is 83" inside the fenders. The rear is 77" . I got it all up on the FEL and took off the center disc and the outer rim and and did some switching around of the bolt to move each side in 3". Now they are both 77" outside to outside of the tires.
I had never measured the tread width before and it wasnt obvious untill I put it on the trailer. It should load a lot better now. Before the fronts would run right at the outside edge of my ramps/trailer while the rears would be on the other side of the ramps which was a bit disconcerting when driving up the ramp, just a bit of wiggle and it would be off the ramp.

So your front end is adjustable? Did you know that before?

Yes. The front is built same as the rear. It has little offset brackets on the outer rim just like the back tires do. They are 1.5" offset from center from each other so by switching the location of bolting attachment, it moves the tire 3 inches on each side. The reason that you dont notice the difference is because the camber of the front tire makes it hard to notice the tracking plus the width of the tires are so much smaller. It takes a tape or in my case putting it on the trailer to notice the difference.
