front tire wear - should i be worried?

Recommended Posts

hey, guys. i recently got some new tires yesterday, and i had a run on them today. steering broke, but no worries, the step screw broke loose. what was worrying is this:

these came premounted, by the way. the inner bit of tire is wearing quite a bit, and that was just one run! the rears are okay, but the fronts look a little...bad. i've got some toe in on it, but i don't understand how that would make such a large impact on wear. it isn't actually the first time it happened, though. on the stock tires with very little toe in, the inner tire started to flange:20190322_005855.thumb.jpg.034341d40502518a8b1d40320131f1bc.jpg

that picture is from a while ago. do you think its the toe causing this, or what? sorry for the double picture, and thanks for any answers.

Toe-in, soft tyres and an abrasive running surface all have a role to play here. I find that a smidgin of toe-out on the front is helpful, both in terms of straight line stability and increasing tyre lifespan.

My understanding would be toe out would make it worse. :wacko:

Have you checked for negative camber?
