Uneven Rear Tyre Wear ? Help

[chef106]

i have 215/45/17 rear tyres on my 04 is200, the drivers side rear have unevenly worn very badly on the inside of the wheel and the passenger side rear had done the same but not as extreme as the drivers side, can anyone help me with what could be causing this ? i understand about wheel allingment and tracking but isnt it harder to get done on the rear wheels ? i thought that maybe it could be a bush on the suspension ? any suggestions or know how would be much appreciated thanks

It'll need a full geometry setup- the IS200 suffers from chronic inner front tyre wear.

Only one man can sort this out for you, Tony Bones at Wheels In Motion: Link to WIM website

Before we all get confused - does this geometry set up apply to BOTH FRONT and REAR ?

Yeah, it does...think on chef's car someone has probably swapped the tyres (front to back/back to front), hence the rear insides are worn...

Hmm possibly a bit like mine then

though I'm prepared to wait and see what happens to the front ones before giving WIM a call.

It might be handy if the OP gave feedback as to whether this tyre rotation theory could be correct. I would think that any inner wear would have been spotted if they were rotated and the issue questioned at that time.It could just be incorrect tyre pressures! I am working on the assumption that the OP has had the car since joining the club last year which may well be incorrect.

to the above no it cant!!!!

tyre pressures............

over inflated wears out the center of the tread

under inflated wears inner and outer edges of the tread!!

wear on the inner edge or outer edge......camber/toe
