Tyre wear

[lobban]

Hi, I have a 996 turbo with a bilstein suspension, which was on the car when I bought it, goes through rear tyres every 2500 mile with normal road use, can this be right?

 

[waxman]

Yikes! 2500 miles never heard of that amount of wear What tyres are you using and is the wear across the tyre or on inner/outer band, centre or across entire width? Tony

 

[lobban]

Parelli p zeros, and it's on the inner 3rd is say

Stewart! Sounds like too much negative camber or maybe toe-out to me. I would get a 4-wheel alignment done.

So would I . I have Bridgestones they have done 5000 and there is still 3 mm above the wear indicator.

Yes it needs 4 wheel alignment doing Approx £90 but worth every penny Should get 12,000 out of Bridgestones and performance []

Well my C4 went through a pair of continentals in 3000 miles and the current pirellis have just about done 4500 miles, now in need of replacement, geo / tracking done every couple of years, no track days, just weekend riding about if the chance arrives , would love to see them last 18000 miles. 75PNO

Check out www.tyreleader.co.uk for tyres. Pirelli P Zero Rosso N4 265/35 18 are £134.20 285/30 18 are £154.79 These are delivered prices so you need to get a fitter to fit them, but I had my wheels refurbed at the same time so no charge to put the new ones on instead.
