Tyre wear?

[davetherave1970]

Hi all

Just spent the afternoon removing my wheels and cleaning them inside and out. Notice the following tyre wear: -

Front off side, all Ok.
Front near side, inside worn badly.
Rear Off side, all OK.
Rear near side, inside worn badly.

Now I know the front inside would probably be down to tracking but the rear inside? And both near side front and rear?

Any ideas?

That's a bit weird, isn't it?

Know how you feel, though - I've just discovered that my nice Toyo Proxes on the front, which have loads of tread left across 95% of the tyre, are bald as coots on the inside...

Spirited driving and/or too much negative camber can also cause this. The more negative camber the more the tyre rests on the inside and due to the reduced contact patch the inside wears quicker than the outside. Tracking can make this worse as can driving style and you can get the same effect on the rear as well. I usually wear one rear side before the other. Caused by the LSD.

Worth getting the geometry checked but if that is OK, just don't push it so hard around roundabouts etc

You dont need tread anyway ,these cars arnt meant to keep in a straight line,,,and think on the poss side if u do lose it ,,,, what a way to go!!!

If only they were symmetric tyres... you could just swap 'em over and wear the other edge out.

Near side wear? Ahhh, the solution is an extreme diet!
