Hey guys,

I seem to be wearing out the outer edge of my lift tires quicker than the rest of the tyres. I guess it's because of my driving habits but is it something that can be solved through suspension mods?

thanx

Hi there NVMYSUBI

Thankyou for your interest in Whiteline products.

In order for me to best advise you on suitable Whiteline products, could you please tell me what type of car you are driving, what type of driving you are doing in the car and what, if any other, particular areas you would like to improve in the vehicles ride and handling. (General descriptions are fine; I don?t expect a technical explanation!)

Please state also, if any suspension or wheel/tyre mods have been made. Do you keep track of tyre pressures?

I also would like to know where you are located, in order to quote on shipping costs.

Please also let me know if you require any other information.

Regards,

A right-hand-drive traffic system as well as heaps of roundabouts will always wear out the front left tyre quicker than the rest, I suspect this might be the case.

Could also be too little negative camber on the front left tyre, resulting in higher wear rate on the outside edge of the tyre. More negative camber will help but it also means you lose some straight-line stability and overall handling balance. Will also result in more wear on the inside portion of the tyre.

Anyhow, just my 2¢, I'll leave it to the suspension experts to quash/uphold/build-on my theory :D
