tire wear - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #14045 15 posts Started by Hanyo
Hey guys I've been noticing my rear tires have been wearing out fast.
They wear evenly, but they wear faster then the front. The tire rack said to put the newer tires on the front for fwd vehicals.

what is causing this?

my car is all stock with 65,xxx miles.
sounds like you need an alinemnt.. and what is the rating of your tires..

i dont know what my tires are rated. They came with the car.

I recently got an alighment and the car tracks straight. So I dont know whats up.. I'm thinking the rear brakes are griping first, not sure though.

my rears grip a tad faster than the front...
Didn't most celicas that came with the 15" alloys come with a V rated tires?

any opinions on Tires? I have Kumho's on right now, and I got one tire back in July, looked at it today its its pretty worn.. not at bar but seems more than it should be.

Now my friend said Kumho's wear fast.. anyoe know of some better brands of tires that may not wear as much?

Thanks!

check out the tire tread wear rating when you buy a new set of tires, this will give you a general tool for comparison of different tires. tread ratings

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
my car is about 1.8" drop all around with intrax now, but my tires have a lot of grip, had my tires on now for more than a year.

Same thing since last year July, same tires, same rims, never rotated, no alignment, still a lot of tire thread.
