TYres - any comments on wear patterns?

Featured Replies

I have just replaced all four tyres on my 2018 Superb Estate 2.0i.

I do average mileage (I am not a Rep) and mainly on country roads so low average speeds and local journeys.

A couple of trips per year across to France and use motorways there.

Front set were Nexens which were recommended here. Fitted in January 2024. Mieage not recorded.

Rear set were Goodyear fitted in September 2022 - mileage 69889 km

Current mileage 139,000 (average mileage??)TYRES.jpg

I was a little shocked to see cords showing through on the Nexens right on the shoulder. This suggests low pressures?? I do run less then recommended due to the harsh ride - maybe 28psi -30psi unless loaded then increase to 30-32psi

The Goodyears show very uneven wear from side to side on the same rear axle. What accounts for that?

Somethindg seems a bit off. Maybe I will get the tracking checked.

I have fitted Yokohams this time.

Your tyre pressures are far too low... Hence the wear.

I'd also suggest you get the tracking looked at if that wear was on the inside edge as it suggests a slightly toe out setting at the moment

However, the key problem will be the pressures your using IMHO.

Do you have a lot of speed cushions on the roads you drive? That sort of wear, if it's just in the inside shoulders as it appears to be, is characteristic of tyres that have regularly been rubbed on speed bumps when you straddle them.
