Tyre Longevity On R34 Gtr

[kofoed]

What sort of tyre longevity do you guys get out of your tyres? I have been getting terrible wear on both front and rear on the inner side of the tyres? I know this is camber related which I fixed with a correction kit to get it from -2.2 or so down to -0.6 so at least the rear started to wear evenly. My tyres have barely done 10k and I got wire poking through the inner side on the fronts. The chamber kit for the front is on the way. I have stock suspension and I'm assuming a reasonable amount of negative camber is the factory setting? Am I wrong?

Stock suspension is doing that to your tyres?!

What tyres?

What type of driving?

Wheel alignment settings?

My fronts are not too bad, the rear of mine was fairly bad even though mine is at vspec height. I found out the wheel alignment place was too lazy to adjust the factory rear camber bolts to the most positive setting, as you have to remove the diffuser....

I tend to drive pretty hard into, through corners and don't do much if any launching (that will wear the inside of the tyres quickly). I still want to put in camber bush sets in the back at some point though, especially if I go a little lower. Some wear comes down to driving style, tyre hardness, tyre pressure, wheel alignment etc.

Get a decent wheel alignment, it will fix your problems

Unless all your bushes and ball joints are completly flogged out

My tires have lasted me so far about 18,000km, still has at least 40% meat left, my tires are:

Size: 275/30/19

Brand: Kumho KU19

Tread wear rating: 300 (hard compound)

plus i rotate at every oil change and pump up my tires (40psi) every fortnight. My wheel alignment specs is the factory settings.

I drive like a granny so i guess that's why it has lasted so long.

So to get more life out of your tires maybe try:

- wheel alignment

- check tire pressure

- drive like a granny

- get tires with a higher tread wear rating
