What are the tires in the rear? Do they match eachother? Is the tread identical with no abnormal wear? Are they both inflated equally? Is one mounted on the rim backwards? Are you running any directional tires? You're not giving us anything to go on here... |

I bought 2 new tires last month,the original 2 were shot! @36K that
really sucks!,the ride has improved 2-3 fold,the 2 on back,-the other originals,were wearing abnormally,less tread on the inside,maybe underinflated.going in tire store tomorrow to check the ride,the 2 on back gives lousy ride,should get 2 new ones,but,christmas is coming.On Fri, 14 Oct 2005 02:00:03 GMT, Blah Blah > wrote: >In article >, sturg57 says... >> GEE-ZUS!,I am not having a happy time with these s.o.b.s!.The 2 new >> ones up front are superb!,the 2 on the back seem to fight against the >> front 2,rides really crappy!,want to get 2 new ones,but Christmas is >> on it's merry way. > >What are the tires in the rear?

I cant tell what you are calling the inside and outside, as in inside tread of both tires or inside tread of one tire... Look at one tire at a time and consider the following... -A Front tire will wear on the outside edges because thats how steering geometry works. -A Rear tire will wear even. (This is why they are rotated so you dont get front tires with bald edges and good center tread. Avoiding rotations will kill the lifespan of tires.) -Under inflation: Will cause the "outer edges" of A tire to wear much like properly inflated front tires. (and give you poor gas mileage) -Over inflation: Will cause the "center" of A tire to wear out. Now if only ONE edge of A tire is worn you have alignment issues. You cant have a proper alignment done on tires with abnormal wear or improper inflation. |

I was told there are''flat spots'' on the 2 rear tires.No,I did not
keep up on the rotation.Yes, I figure inflation was down mostly.I was told theres alot of tread still on the rear 2,No safety issues,just an annoying thumpy ride.On Sat, 15 Oct 2005 11:54:30 GMT, Blah Blah > wrote: >In article >, sturg57 says... >> I bought 2 new tires last month,the original 2 were shot! @36K that >> really sucks!,the ride has improved 2-3 fold,the 2 on back,-the other >> originals,were wearing abnormally,less tread on the inside,maybe >> underinflated. > >(dont you mean over inflated???) > >> going in tire store tomorrow to check the ride,the 2 on >> back gives lousy ride,should get 2 new ones,but,christmas is coming.On >> Fri, 14 Oct 2005 02:00:03 GMT, Blah Blah > wrote: > >Were your tires kept rotated because it doesnt sound like it? > >I cant tell what you are calling the inside and outside, as in inside >tread of both tires or inside tread of one tire... > >Look at one tire at a time and consider the following... > >-A Front tire will wear on the outside edges because thats how steering >geometry works. > >-A Rear tire will wear even. > >(This is why they are rotated so you dont get front tires with bald >edges and good center tread.
