tyre wear on the inside both fronts

[peter richards]

hi peeps , just before i went on hols , had the car motd , no probs but the tester mentioned wear on the inside of both front tyres .

these tyres have about 8k of miles from new.

had the car lazer checked , and all four wheels were correct .

psi i use is about 30 .

any thing i can do to avoid trashing a good set of tyres any further ?

thanks peter

mine have gone on the inside since i lowerd it. to much camber.

I run 36 psi.....30 seems a little low. I think alot of people are running 34+.

Chris Wilson ajusted the camber on mine because of a similar problem, it hasn't happened since. Lazer alignment will not correct it.

same happend to me, i was told it was because the camber hadnt been altered wen it was lowerd

Wear on the insides of the front tyres is perfectly normal - it's the price you pay for increased front grip.

thanks for replies guys , seems like a common fault , ill putt some more air in as suggested,

i think i might after a few more miles swap the two front over, so that i will at least wear the both edges out then .

cheers peter

You might consider that on a daily shopper but not on a highperformance car. Some brands wont swap side either.

ok phil , ill check before , just in case , cheers

This is a common issue on nearly all Supra's. The front camber on the stock setup causes the inside to wear at a much faster rate than the outside. Try using a high PSI to slow the problem down a little... something like 38-39psi. This will make use of the middle tread and is good for wet weather driving.

 

If you've had your car lowered I seem to remember a lot of people saying they have an even more increased rate of wear on the inside. Have your camber re-aligned to a more +ve setting to reduce inside wear. However your cornering front end grip will reduce by doing this (usually).

If you swap worn tyres over it'll tramline like a bastard as the wear pattern is totally off. I run 34psi up from (235*40/18) and the wear is about as even as it's ever gonna get.
