The problem with doing that is it badly wears the inside of the tyre
tread though admittedly its better to wear out a tyre than knacker a
shock absorber or spring.


I used to think my shocks wore out quick (about 1 per year) from
driving fast over bumps, but my neighbour drives very slowly (about
5mph) over them and they still **** his shocks. It's criminal and
needs to be stopped.
