Tire wear question.

[Anutha1BtsDaDst]

My rear tire on my passenger side is wearing a lot faster (its almost bald) than my driver side tire . Any ideas as of what causes this. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Check your toe settings. Thats about the only thing that will cause a tire to wear very quickly, aside from under/over-inflation.

I agree with checking the tire pressure. Overinflated causes the middle to wear faster, underinflated wears the sides.

I have to ask... you bought both tires new at the same time?

A bad RTAB will accelerate tire wear significantly also...

possibly a bad shock on one side... if everything else fails.

Car ever been towed or flatbedded? MANY cars have bent suspension components due to idiot towing operators who hook to anything they can to anchor or tow the car. You can and should unscrew the hockey pucks and anchor with t-hooks when anchoring to a flatbed and also use the tow anchors in the bumpers.
