Rich Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not my car but if both tyres are replaced at the same time with the same brand but one has worn around 2mm more, what's the cause? Wear is even across the tread as well. I'm thinking pressures or shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Could it be one side of the car is heavier than the other? (ahem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's the passenger side that's wearing not the drivers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Im sure someone told me the issue is down to the power steering on modern cars.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 If the wear is on the outside of the NSF tyre then there;s two main reasons... 1: Low speed left turns holds the NSF tyre in a very tight radius 2: Transitional coefficient forces on steady-state/ high speed corners will also wear the outside of the NSF tyre.

The wear is even across the tread, it's just that one tyre has worn quicker than the other. Both the same brand and fitted at the same time.

Yes, FWD and on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Check the tyre dates to see if they are from the same mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
