One of the rears has 1mm+ more wear than the other. Passenger side. Not worrying, if they need changing they get changed.

But there is a difference between the two. So curious as to why? The Bridgestones didn't and these are Toyo's.

Main gripe is to have both done on the basis of one.


Anyone else?

Only thing I can think of: is the LSD working properly ?

More left turns than right? Swap them over routinely.

LSD.......thought about that but not exactly sure how they work, know the principle etc. The old tyre's wore out so quickly I never had a chance to compare wear with these.

Richard
Missed the chance, too far worn now but I wil be aware of it in the future. Mind you I was getting a tad lax and not checking as often.....7,000 out of a set of rear's......yipeee.


Cheers all.

Rear wheel alignment on one side not ok? Worn bushes, or that direction...

It is even across the tyre so will keep an eye on it. Bushes are nylon thingies and sort of new, 4 years or so? Think there is a reciept for them in the history. Nothing was brought up on the last service and the guy was very thorough.

Think I am worrying too much but a lot of larging it was done this year.....all within the law.

Morgans worryings....new section for Sprint?
