Does the left rear or right rear wear out quicker?
You know what I'm talking about. Over time you see that after 10,000km or whatever you have maybe 90% condition tyres on the front and maybe 60% on one rear and 40% on the other rear...
is it the left? or right?

Depends how skilled you are with your single leggers lol,
If you do it right you should have them pretty even,,
On a serious note tho, i would of thought the wear would be pretty even with normal everyday driving

Before I was converted to the church of the LSD my right rear wore out a bit faster.
How hard can it be?
Normal driving, you'll find they wear close enough to even. My last set lasted 60,000km and they all had to get replaced at the same time (Wheel rotation is a wonderful thing). I've got a toss pot mate whos RR lasted 8000km, so if you drive like a bat out of hell, it's the right tyre that wears quicker.

Timmy was a chemist's son, but Timmy is no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4...
The left rear might wear a tad quicker then the right due to it being more prone to hit potholes and shit?!
My last car - an AWD Liberty wore the lefts out first (directional tyres rotated front to back only), but that was mainly due the the bazzilion roundabouts where I live
Current Ride: 2011 VE Sedan - In Voodoo of course.
Last Ride: 2004 Subaru Liberty GT, Twin scroll turbo, tuned, Bilsteins, sway bars, no rice, 420Nm
Also Own: 1964 EH Wagon, modified interior, minor modifications outside
Do you have an open diff? My right wore out quicker on my vs because I booted it more turning right than left.
Havnt noticed any difference on my vy with an LSD though

This was a question i asked at Murcots race craft driving course a few years back..Originally Posted by TonyJZX
The answer is that in Aust we drive on the left side of the road and most of our driving is predominantly city type driving.
On the average city street turning left is a sharp turn which we do at a slower rate, But when turning right we do reasonable full on to complete the turn in heaver traffic conditions therefor a little traction is some times lost and tire ware is the result...

This is the sort of stuff that happens when the kids get into Dads tool box over weekend.
Money will be spent, Dreams will be shattered, Lessons will be learned, and a wealth of information will be gained.
I has LSD!
and strangely although my car is lowered so far the wear has been even. Left to right, no camber issues. But I do see a lot of 2nd hand tyres sets with 1 wheel with more wear.
I have had my 2001 VX SS from new, I did around 50,000km on the original Bridgestones, I never rotated them or had them balanced, one because they were wearing extremely well and two just never got around to it, I replaced the 2 back ones first and the left rear was showing more wear than the right, not a huge difference but there was a tad more wear on the inner edge of the left tyre at 50,000km than the right.
