Rear inside tyre wear

[wettstuff]

Evening chaps, with a bit of luck someon might be able to help and confirm my thoughts.

My 110 ht 300tdi has now chomped its way through two sets of rear tyres this year (maybe 15000 miles) but not totally only the inside of the rears, quite literally half the tyre is nearly bald while the outer edge is still brand new

Now is this due to suspesion bushes like i think or something more serious.

I do tend to run with loads of fencing/ building tools and equipment all the time, don't very often tow and never go far when i do.

Oh the tyres are colway enduro 265/75 16's, i quess i should have started looking after the first set but just put it down to bad luck

Cheers Mark

If it helps i can get a picture up tomorrow

Hi brian, i've replaced the wheel bearing several times on the passenger side and had it done twice by "proper" mechanics although before say 1500 miles there is a smear of oil appearing on the alloy, but only the passenger side, i haven't looked at the drivers side.

I'd be looking at the axle casing itself in case it's bent. Is the gap between the wheels the same at the back of the rear wheels as at the front of them?

Failing that, bushes. Check the distance between hub centres front-rear both sides.

or at the top/bottom of wheels, if the axle is bent upwards, the tyre will run on the inside shoulder instead of evenly across the tread, what state are the trailing arm mounts on chassis & axle in ? not the rubber bushes but the metal mounts.
