Tire Wear

Recommended Posts

So I've been meaning to post this up a while back but oh well.

I measured my tire wear before mounting my summer shoes back on.

I'm running the mpss tires in a wider than stock configuration: 245/35r19 & 325/30r19's & I'm running an aggressive street alignment.

The fronts are 5mm inside tread / 6mm outside tread & the rears are perfectly flat at 6mm.

Brand new the tires are 10/32" or appr. 8mm.

The fronts have over 21,000kms on them & the rears have about 5,000km.

I think the combination of alignment settings (toe) & the suspension components that were locked in have definitely helped the even tire wear.

sounds like the setup is working well; 21k on the fronts with 5mm remaining is great wear.

 

Rear tyre wear is a direct association of the angle of the foot on the loud pedal in my experience :)

I figured I'd update this thread.

Just measured my tread depth.

The fronts are 4mm inside tread / 5mm outside tread & the rears are perfectly flat at 5mm.

Brand new the tires are 10/32" or appr. 8mm.

The fronts have over 25,000kms on them & the rears have almost 10,000km.

This also includes the spokane autoX & the 2 club autoX events.

 

Alignment specs if anyone is curious are:

Fronts: -1.0 camber & 0.00 toe

Rears: -1.9 camber & 0.10 toe on each side
