Kt2u 1st Gear August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 Calling out to the tyre experts... I realized this morning that there are white nylon threads showing through my left front tyre near the edge... the strange thing is that this tyre shows a lot more wear on the edge ("shoulder" part of the tyre, see pics attached) than the other 3 tyres... and these tyres only have 18000KM on them... do I need to change the tyre immediately? Or change all 4? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha78 6th Gear August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 Hard cornering? If not, your camber setting might be the cause of it. Get it checked by a mechanic. If it's camber setting, the next set of tyres will have the same problem soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 As you can see your wheels are on positive camber. Did you install a camber kit? If yes, dan go to any wheel alignment shop to have it set back to zero. If no, you might want to install a set of camber kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkenaz Neutral Newbie August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 Wow u may have serious camber setting issue... previously my inner tyre was also eating very fast , have to change tyre every 20k also . had to purchase a camber kit and set it right. Now seem to be pretty even , i will always check my tyre once a month to make sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 (edited) check if you have other mods that could be potential source that affect this also. Did you install strut bars, underbrace, rollcage (illegal)........??? These may cause the car structure to be overly stiff and transfer all weights to the wheels/tyres during cornering.

Donut Supercharged August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 maybe before you go to change tyre (or after you change), go to a reliable ws that can do computerised wheel alignment and get some advice from the ws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, don't like that say lah, I found out this morning only leh and immediately come here to ask for expert opinions. Isn't it the spirit to help each other out with knowledge and know-how? Not everyone is a tyre expert right? Not wrong to ask where to get the best price for changing tyres right? Not everyone is able to drive into the next petrol station and let people chop carrot leh... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
