Rear tyres wearing on inside

Why do car tires wear on the inside? What causes inner tire wear? It leads to the issue of tires wearing on the inside edge in your vehicle. The shallower the trea the more the risk that you would lose traction while driving in wet or snow.

The primary cause of your car tires wearing on the inside includes the inside of the tread on the front tires wearing faster than the center or outside edge.

It is known as the Camber problem. Source of issue Camber wear can be caused by: suspension misalignment, a bent strut, a dislocated strut tower, a weak or broken spring, a bent spindle, or collapsed or damaged control arm bushings. If the bottoms of the tyre lean to the outside, you have negative camber. Negative camber angle can cause excessive inner tyre wear.

When the inside tread on your front tyres is wearing faster than the centre or the outside edge, the problem is likely a "camber" problem. Two common causes of early tire wear out and irregular tire wear are improper inflation pressure and out-of-spec alignment conditions.

I to am booked in for wheel laser alignment but remember you will need this done with the new tyres on, or with minimal wear to be 100% successful.

Needing some advice after my car has just came from the garage. Bent Wheels: A bent wheel, in addition to probably causing a vibration in the car, will also affect the wear on its tire and can even affect the wear on the other tires as well. Only 3K miles on new tires and inside lost the treads.

The inside of the rear tires are wearing out like hell. If your tyres are worn on the inside and outside edge, they could be under-inflated or leaking. This could cause the edges of your tyres to have more contact with the road than usual.

Taking corners too fast Cornering too fast can put more pressure than expected on the edges of your tyres. Pressures are not a factor in the wear this chap is experiencing. Under inflated tyres will wear both shoulders of a tyre and overinflated tyres will wear the centre of the tyre. Depending on the type of wear he is experiancing on the inside edge could also be heal and toe wear this will appear in high and low tread blocks around the tyre.

An aggressive camber setting improves cornering but causes wear on the inner edge. The BMW specs for the rear camber are quite loose so one car could have quite a lot of negative camber (with tyre wear ) and still be in spec and another car could have a lot less camber and still be in spec.

The last week of October I had to replace my passenger side rear tire (17" dunlop running flats) because unfortunately, I hit a curb. While cleaning the brake dust from the wheels this past Sunday, I noticed BOTH rear tires are wearing on the inside.

Having said that, the inside corners will wear more quickly than other parts of the tires even if the tires are flat on the floor.

The reason is that the car squats on the inside edges when you are enjoying yourself. Just go to any place like Mr. Tire, NTB, or Sears and ask for a free alignment check and they can tell you how bad your rear toe is.

I do alignments for a living and it may be just toe, or it could be toe and camber. The dynamics and geometry of every car are different and will effect tire wear differently. TDI sharan with excessive wear on the inside of the rear tyres. I shall be looking into wheel alignment on my next visit to the garage.

It would be good to know if anyone has resolved the problem or alternative solutions. A local BMW repairer said this is common but I can. Inside tire wear can be caused by worn struts or shock absorbers. Worn shocks or struts allow the wheels to bounce too much, particularly on rough roads, and typicallyin an inner or outer wear pattern on the tread.

Worn shocks can cause you to feel the steering wheel vibrate after hitting a bump. The inner part of the tire wearing down prematurely usually indicates camber wear which, unlike your car alignment in Fairfax Station, VA, would not cause your vehicle to pull to one side or the other so you may not notice a problem.

Curious what you were told by dealer on rear tire wear. Mine pretty much said it was normal to wear the inside. I too have same problem with much more treat remaining everywhere but the inside of of both rear tires.

On my car the drivers side rear inside shows the most wear. Anything else that allows the wheel to move upward will also cause excessive negative camber and positive toe-out, leading to excessive tire wear on the inside. The two main causes of uneven tyre wear are incorrect inflation pressures and incorrect wheel alignment. Fortunately, both of these problems can also be identified easily.

The rear tyres will still wear on the inside edges! Ours has done 18K and the tyres are down to 2mm on the outside edge, 3mm in the centre and 4mm on the inside edge of both rear tyres It seems that the panda runs mm tow in on the rear wheels as standard. A bubble level with some spacers against the top and bottom of the rim might demonstrate this tilt if you want to become an amateur scientist.

It's a pants solution because the tyres "slip angle" or lets say roll is greatly increased giving the feeling the rear is on ice. Its driving me nuts.

As an engineer I sense tyres are getting far too hi-tech. Too much expected from one component in a suspension system.
