Tyre wear

(1/2) > >>

Aparoon:
My rear tyres have plenty of tread mostly but on the inner edge they have worn much more and are now almost serated and make a bit of noise when driving, im led to believe its a common thing, is there anything i can do about this to try and stop my tyres wearing unevenly as eventually they are going to need changing although theres plenty of tread on the majority of the tyre  :rolleye: Seems a bit crazy... but i dont want to ruin the handling either...

stealthwolf:
Have you checked your wheel alignment?

Beddie:
Same thing has happened to mine chief and did on the A3 too...  :confused:
Apparently its something to do with poor geometry settings done at the factory, i'm taking mine to be properly aligned to stop my shiny new F1's going all 50 pence piece shaped...

I remember talking about it with you mate, i just dont want to have things changed and chance ruining the handling  :confused:

Dunlop Sportmaxx's perchance?  These are particualry prone to wearing badly on the inside edge.  But the way the geometry is set up is harsher on the inside edge than you might expect.  Its a trade off to better handling.

I had exactly the same issue (with Dunlop Sportmaxx's), the centre tread had plenty of life but the inside edge was fubard.  I had the alignment checked and it was found to be spot on.  For what it costs its worth getting checked for peace of mind though...
