Wah....my hero!

how come I dun drift but safe driving all the time...my rear also worn off faster than my front...I m on 18" staggered set-up

Dear all,

out of curiosity; our cars are rear wheel driven so how come the front will have wear signs. Should it be the rear? Also there are 2 school of thoughts:

1) The first school of thought thinks that rear wheel drive vehicles do not have to do wheel rotation as compared to front wheel drive.
2) the second school of thought thinks that rear or front wheel drive vehicles all will have to do wheel rotation cause this can assist in even wear and will aid in lasting tyres.

So can we open up discuss on this topic?

Even for a rear wheel drive car, the fronts wear out quicker, more so if your car is a front drive.They carry a heavier load (engine), they steer (so they scrub against the pavement), and the majority of your braking is done in the front...

But strange...i m the reverse... my rear tyres wear off faster than my front Must be my driving style then

Mmm...strange. Thats why i am puzzled. Some say their front wear out faster but others say their rear wear out faster..The issue is what type of driving style / pattern cause the wearing out? Or is it a norm for rear wheel drive to wear out the rear tyres faster?

1) Braking Points and distance
2) Driving line
3) Acceleration from stop and cornering

I think this 3 matter alot on the wearing pattern of the car. My car is FD type, always at car park i step alittle bit i can hear and smell rubber burning liao. Therefore my front is always 30% faster then my rear to go up the lorry.

bro, u r too kind la. i m juz sharing what i learn from my masters here. Try to play PS3 - Gran Turismo 5 more, it teaches u alot ! No kidding !

I'm pretty sure it's the driving style...
Few of our bros here know why

I think if you always drive at MSCPs, the front will wear of faster.
Another reason i can think of is the tyre pressure...
My 2 cents.....
