Sorry Ringa just saw your question.
My Mog was set up wildly out from new I suspect. That is why tyres wore so quickly.
I reset the tracking with a slight toe in but not as much as Morgan say.Lets see how Pirelli MT66 thres wear.
Handles really well now.

Appreciate this is drifting off topic a little, but I think the cause of my VERY twitchy handling is two-fold. First and easy fix was to get the tracking checked. Turns out the NSF was over 2 degrees Toe-Out, with the OSF slightly Toe-In. Not ideal. Now set at parallel and certainly improved, but by no means what you might call stable and predictable. Bear in mind that the parallel setup has always worked really well with the Blockleys, up to the point that they go into terminal understeer when really pushing on. A simple change to the rounded profile Pirelli Night Dragon bike tyre has made a huge difference to the grip available (which is good), but the car is way too flighty to be safe on fast back roads.....
On reflection though, I checked the camber and remembered that I had gone pretty much as far as I could with the Empire Kit and am running -2.7 degrees each side. Great for trying to keep the Blockleys with a tread face in line with the tarmac when loaded up, but maybe not so clever with a round profile bike tyre. Clearly as the lock is applied the contact patch moves forward as the profile changes in relation to the road surface, introducing the unnecessarily fast and nervous steering. Perhaps. Evidence suggests that these tyres do work for others and I am aware that my negative camber was more than most folks run (during informal comparison across the 30+ cars at Grindelwald last September). So I will reset the camber to about half that negative value and see what makes.....
