VZ wagon rear tyre wear

[Dino222]

Looking at buying a SVZ, Berlina or Lumina wagon. Just spoke to a guy selling a 2006 SVZ wagon. He told me he has issues with rear tyre wear and the car has only done about 50,000km. Although I knew VT's and some models after this had rear tyre wear issues, but I thought these problems have been fixed by the VZ model. He mentioned something about a kit to fix the problem but should this need to be done on a VZ? Is it still common, is it a design fault, and which cars were affected. Any advice on these cars would be appreciated in terms what to to look out for. Thanks

wheel alignment mate.

Also he might have just been carrying a shitload of heavy stuff in the back = way more wear.

Or if it's pretty low then yeah they chew through tyres pretty quickly (i know from experience hahaha)

i had mine lowered on sedan superlows with 18's and it didnt wear the tyres, on stock suspension with 15's it wore dead flat,

i decent alignment should fix it

I bought my Berlina wagon nearly 10,000k's ago (standard suspension and partly worn tyres) and I drive it hard on the open roads. Those familiar with the NZ roads north of Auckland will know how rough they are with numerous tight corners, and I have hardly had any tyre wear at all.

get 20's and sedan superlows or lower and they will wear the shit through tyres. Rears would be lucky to last 10 000km's.
