Tyre Wear

[Sagitar]

My IS 250 auto went in for service yesterday, with about 13,000 miles on the clock.

The tyre wear measurements were:

Front left 4 6 4

Front right 4 6 4

Rear left 5 5 5

Rear right 5 5 5

Uneven wear on the outsides of the tyres was visible early on and I raised tyre pressures by 2 p.s.i. all round as a consequence.

It did not solve the problem entirely and recently I raised the pressures by a further 2 p.s.i.

The rears are fine but I still have uneven wear across the fronts. Given that these are the tyres that take the steering load, is this kind of wear typical or could I do better?

mine is showing the same wear rate as yours but with 38r and 35f.

Just out of curiosity, what make/spec. are they?

Also don't go too far over the recommended inflation ratings as that can open up its own can o'worms...

Interesting - that's where I started, but I am now up to 39 front and 42 rear.

Should have said I am on Dunlop SP Sport Maxx.

Here's mine if it helps, my tyres are Dunlop sport maxx with approx 9,000 miles and 35f & 38r

front right 5 6 5

I have similar wear on inner and outer edges of the fronts but with less miles.I increased thepressure from the recommended 36psi to 37-38psi

I'm out of work with those sorts of figures

Well you set mine up, so don't blame me . . . . . . . :P
