Tyre wear problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

Disco Matt:
I'd have thought both fronts would wear equally if it was down to excess speed in corners - assuming you do the same commute in both directions then the car will face an equal number of left and right hand bends.

ben_haynes:
just out of interest have you tried swappin front to rear and left to right and does this wear the same?

are there lots of round-a-bouts your way???

taking corners hard can put strain on the passenger front, im guessing you brake while you start turning? like i do this will do  :doh:

lee celtic:
There are six roundabouts on the way to work :roll:

yes I've tried revolving the tyres and the nearside front always wears it must be down to the roundabouts and my driving :twisted:

ben_haynes:
go round the round-a-bouts the other way :police: that should tell you if its them or your driving :lol:

Skibum346:
If everything else is fine then sounds like it is roundabouts and other right handed corners. Remember if taken at any kind of speed, the front passenger tyre will take most of the steering strain and most of the weight as the vehicle leans and lightens the load on the driver side.
