minkymulbs Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I fitted two new Michelin PS3's last December and they have now done 9k and the left tyre is down to 3.5mm. The right tyre is about 4.5mm and both are more worn in the centre of the tyre. Ive always thought that meant over inflation but Ive been running 36psi on 225/40/18 tyres which I didnt think was much. So im wondering why the left tyre wearing quicker than the right? Is the central wear due to the 36psi or could shock absorbers be to blame. The shocks have done 62k and are on eibachs springs so the movement is shorter than stock. WIM sorted my geo out in December and I was expecting some inner tyre wear but thats been good as gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I wouldn't worry about 1mm difference TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks guys will do. Are the Michelin PS3 a quick wearing tyre as they have only done 9k? PS3's are pencil rubber but not as bad as the club's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
