RE: [DML] TYRE WEAR

["Ryan McCaffrey" <ryanjm@xxxx>]

Lance and group,

I share your pain. I have Yokohamas on my daily driver '82 out here in the
Arizona desert, and after less than 15,000 miles, the rear tires (to use the
American term ;-)) are gone. This is half of their expected life. The
front ones, strangely, look fine for the mileage on them. The wear is also
even on mine, and I checked the tire pressure on each side, and it too is
fine.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? The Yokos are high performance tires and
I had pretty much written it off to that (though why the front ones are fine
bothers me), but the fact that someone else with a different tire brand is
having this same problem is interesting.

Theories? Suggestions?

Has anyone experienced unusually rapid wear on the rear tyres? I recently
fitted new Bridgestone tyres and was shocked to see that they are now
almost bald. Would probably have done no more than 3,000 miles since they
were fitted. The wear is even indicating that there are no suspension
problems.
