Unusual Tire Wear (Pic)

[eskimochaos]

Explain why you have offroad tires when 90% of your miles are on the highway/paved flat roads then.

Oh, forgot, trying to look ruff n' tuff n' rugged. Sounds like Brokeback Mountain in Jersey between a dude and his SUV.

So Gay

Here's a suggestion. Maybe you should check the tire pressure on that one tire, if you rule out that an XREAS issue is the cause.

Keep in mind, in case you forgot, that a majority of turns that a driver makes is a right handed turn, so more wear on that front passenger tire may be expected.

TP is fine. Checked once a month and did last week.

Its actually funny you say that. For the first time, I might actually agree with you. I've actually noticed myself taking right handers more often just recently. AND, they are more aggressive than left handers I guess because I can lean on the door. Still though, on the outside of the PS side tire?

Where did you read/learn that?

PS I do <3 my 4R.

PPS, mods I have thick skin and am not offended - no need to give DC Dude a vacation.

when making a right (passenger side) handed turn, the vehicle weight is going to shift to the left (driver side). you would expect to see more wear on the driver side if this was the case.

why would you expect to see wear on a tire that doesn't have as much weight on it? there aren't any locked diffs that would make the inside tire spin to keep up with the rotation of the outside tire, which is what happens with locked diffs because the weight moves to the outside causing the inside tire to not put as much weight on the ground which makes breaking traction easier.

i really enjoy reading all of your hot headed posts, and can't wait to see your reply to this one.

That's assuming you're turning on a level surface. There are many roads/surfaces/exit ramps that are angled at turns especially for stormwater drainage purposes or high speed exit ramps off highways to prevent vehicles from flipping over.

Keep in mind also that the XREAS may/probably compensates for that outer lean/shift in weight.
