Irregular Wear on Rear Tires

[tongsatriani]

I noticed both rear tires have wears only on the inner side. Is it a norm?

Yes, it is normal due to the negative camber. If you want to prolong tire life, buy symmetrical tyres and rotate them.

My previous Nokian NRZi assymmetrical tryes lasted well over 50,000km, rotating front to back only. Now I am on Hankook Ventus K104 which has a symmetrical pattern.

If the tire wear is excessive, then replace the rear trailing arm bushes.

Maybe you dont corner hard enough?

 

[DingChavez]

that's true... corner faster. Maybe you can try drifting oso, sure your tyre wear sama rata wan

there is one way so that u can minimise tyre wear.... DON"T DRIVE :blush:

Actually, I find that switching from left-to-right works to even out the wear even if the tires are directional. For daily drive, its ok and very little difference, only in very hard driving will one notice the difference in traction quality. But since the tire is 50% or more worn, one cannot expect high-quality traction anyway.

You can test the stopping distance as well. Its about the same in dry roads. I do ABS stopping from one speed-bump to the next speed bump. Accelerate to 50kph and hit the brakes hard, see how far you are from the next speed bump. An easy measure.
