That to me, sounds like the tyre is over inflated?

Over Inflated means the centre wears more than the edges.

Underinflated means the edges wear more than the centre.

One edge is alignment related...

Hope that helps you:)

The way l read it, when he said, the "inside" was the middle of the tyre, which is exactly like you said.

But after reading what other people said, & thinking about it, l realised he meant inside edge. Like everybody else thought. :) :cool:

I was chewing through rear tires in 15,000 k’s all the time, due to the weight I was always carrying in the back,

I sourced a pair of STD height heavy duty rear springs from Pedders,
And never had a issue since fitting them,
That was approx. 160,000 k’s ago.
