Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 9m 21d Gender: Male Posted 29/01/12 12:37 PM Share Posted 29/01/12 12:37 PM I have a set of 20" rims on my ba falcon, tyres are 245/30/20 now the problem I have is the rear tyres are wearing out quick and weirdly! The inside of the tyre have scratches in the tread. The 18" rims I removed from the car had the same problem there was wire exposed on the rear two tyres but only half the tyres had the wiring and scratches! I have had a wheel aligment and still have this problem!What could cause this?

Or scrubbing.. If your rim width doesn't match the offset?

I had the problem with the stock rims so I got a wheel aligment and put brand new 20"s on only to have the same problem.Could it be rose joints-bushes?A mate said something about them.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 18y 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/01/12 12:17 AM Share Posted 30/01/12 12:17 AM They come out with to much negative camber from the factory, that's why the inner parts of your wheels are wearing quicker then the outer.

That'll scratch/tear tyres apart if that's what you mean by scratching??The wear on inside only is definitely due to bad wheel alignment/stuffed bushes (too much neg camber, happens heaps) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78724-bad-un-even-tyre-wear/#findComment-1187953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a diff bush?Might get another wheel aligment and see how it goes Edited 30/01/12 07:03 AM by Kosij Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78724-bad-un-even-tyre-wear/#findComment-1188091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 30/01/12 07:16 AM Share Posted 30/01/12 07:16 AM Bushes. They're too soft. They'll do it forever even with the best wheel alignment in the world as long as the stock bushes are in there.
