e92 Inside tread wear..normal?

bubbahead · 03-25-2012, 04:43 PM

This is a rear tire off my e92. I read a few forums ppl suffering from same inside wear issue. Is this normal or more attributed to alignment issues?

I have the same issue to the point I have an exposed cord so had to replace the rear tires. Both are doing it. I suspect it is too much camber in the rear so as the tires wear it aggravates this even more. I plan on having my alignment checked so I will report back if that is the issue. I have seen it on previous sets of tires as my car is on set 4 but not to this extent. BTW I have Michelin PS2 so it is not dependent on the tire.

From what I know about suspension setup vs tire wear you have to much negative chamber in the rear.

Seems that your toe might be slightly off since the tread wear looks like a 1inch patch of a dramatic change. However, I've heard that E92's are bad with tires in general so it might not be a specific problem with your car.

I had the same problem with my run falts.
Got the car aligned and got rid of the crappy run flats and much Much better!
