BoatBuoy Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I have a set of G90s on the works 110, yeah I know... The back left tyre has worn a bit funny. On the outer edge of tyre, the trailing edge of the tread blocks look to be scrubbed down.The front edge of the blocks look new and the backs almost worn away. Why? I had the tracking / alignment done a while back, and the tyres are at the book pressure. I had similar on both fronts, but got the tracking done and the latest fronts seem ok.

western Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 rears are probably being worn like that due to worn trailing arm bushes allowing the axle to do a bit of rear steering. with a good load on the rear tyres should be around 40 to 48psi.

Now if you had a R1 then a classic example of using too much right wrist, too much knee down and definitely a big grin factor all in reverse . Not sure how you managed that in a 110, must be trying too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Agressive LR tyres often wear like that. I think that I have heard that low pressures can have a bearing - the tyres (Michelin XZLs) on my ex-army trailer have a similar wear pattern.

Hmmm... well had a look under and couldn't see any worn bushes or loose bits... It's a td5 so you can't drive them too hard can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
