So I'm looking to buy a set of wheel with Toyo T1R tires. Tires have less than 7k miles. Here is a pictures of rear and front. Rear looks pretty good to me but is the front having uneven wear on the sides ?

Front

 

come on guys this should be fairly easy for ones who got TOYO T1Rs.

Thanks

 

they look fine

 

Even though we are only measuring with our eyes, I can see that the tread is really thin on the further side of the both wheels (as viewed from the angle in the pics). The car that they were on may have had a lot of negative camber. If you look at wheel in the background of the first pic, you see it, too - and it's on the inside edge of the tire. IMO, I would consider the inside edges of the tires to be bald (meaning less than the required tread depth for safe driving).

As for the tread left on the center area of the tire, I can't visually discern anything between 8/32 - 4/32 of tread left... doesn't look new, doesn't look bald. I've had my front t1rs for something around 5k and the tread depth is similar.

 

This is a picture of the tires on the car. to me it looks like no camber at all and the car has never lowered according to the owner. If those edges are actually suffering from severe uneven wear, what could cause it ?

 

its very hard to tell by looks in eyes if the car's camber is off or not...

 

Yeah, it doesn't look like there's a negative camber problem, but then again, we're measuring with our eyes here - not precision instruments. He looks like he's at stock height now. At stock height we do have a little bit of negative camber - not enough to cause the excessive inner-wear on the tires in the first pics you posted. Does he have a height-adjustable suspension? Seriously though, I wouldn't care how he wore out the insides of the tires - they're still worn out.

Looking again at the tires above, there definitely is a problem on the inside edges - they're practically bald there. Just negotiate the price down before you buy it (if you're still interested). You can still drive like that for a little while in the dry, it's just not considered safe long term or in the wet. Try to save some money on this transaction, and buy a nice set of tires sooner

 

Thanks for the advice aaron.
