Guys I have a question. I have after market wheels, 20x9.5 and 20x10.5. The tires are 245/35/20 and stretched 275/30/20 falken 452s. After only about 7K miles my rear tires are EVENLY balding. The wear bars are showing.

Now if it was just the inside wearing then i would just get a camber kit. But this is worse cause i dont know what the problem is. lol BTW I believe i have about -2 degrees of camber. I dont remember the exact camber cause my print out is at home but its not more than -2 degrees.

I dont launch hard but i do take corners hard. Any ideas why its balding so fast? How long do your 20" tires last? Thanks!!

(i put this up in the national forum under tires so if i am not allowed to put the same topic in two categories, i apologize)

 

stop doing burnouts

 

7K mikes???

 

Not sure why they would go bald so quickly. I'm running 245/40/19 FK452s and I got 15K out of my rears running -2~-2.5 camber in the rear.

 

You need to slow down

 

what are the tires spec?they soft tires?? usually tires that are softer well have better performance BUT wear real fast

 

I got 10k miles out of my Falken 452s... with -1.6 camber in the rear, and this is with about 5 canyon runs + 3 tracking (drag).

I've also done numerous burn-outs. lol

 

Sounds like a case of bootleg tires...you get um from China?

 

The only reason i can think of is that i drive to fast around turns/corners but shouldnt make it go bald so fast. Its not i am sliding through corners. do you think the tire being stretched has anything to do with it?

 

Quick question, are you flying around corners in the canyon runs up to the point before you start sliding? the reason i ask is cause that is my normal driving habit and i was wondering if that could cause balding. i thought only sliding/drifting would cause balding that fast.

 

Driving to the fullest in the canyons.

 

sounds like you have toe problems not camber problems

 

I have about 14k on my RE070s. Local members can attest to the fact that I will push the tires to the limit with 20+ canyon runs and 3 track days on the current set. I'm at 3/32" on the front and 2/32" on the rear.

Funny part is these tires average about 8-10k with non HPD... I go through my rears slower than the norm, but I go through my fronts faster than the norm.

I'm currently running -0.3 front, -1.3 rear.

It's also a s2k.

 

I wish that was it so i can explain the problem. lol toe is 0.13 left rear and 0.10 right rear (within specs). camber is -2.3 left rear and -2.0 right rear so you would think the inside would wear way faster than the outside but they are wearing almost evenly.

off topic but does anyone no why the hell i would have a -1.0 SAI for the front left and +4.0 SAI for the front right. also -2.9 included angle for the front left and +2.5 included angle for the front right.

 

ok so basically i just have some weird bad luck lol maybe the 452s suck in tread life.
