Outer tyre wear on rear . One tyre only
Hi. Noticed today that the passenger side rear tyre outer is wearing much faster than the inner. Other side and both fronts are fine.
Do you think it's tracking or something else? Thanks Last edited by peelaaa; 2nd April 2021 at 19:29.. |

Tyre could be under inflated or Excessive wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire, known as “toe wear” or, in more extreme cases, as “camber wear,” suggests something may be wrong with the wheel alignment.

I had the same thing and even the same tyre. It turned out to be the tyre itself. Had a new tyre fitted and all the tyres on my car are wearing evenly. That was more than 5 years ago. Tracking never adjusted.
However tracking is normally the thing that causes uneven tyre wear.-- |

Had both rear tyres off today.
After closer inspection the drivers side is worn on the outer too but just not as bad. These are nokian and have tread depth written into tyre. The centre of tyre depth on worst side is between 3 to 4 mm. The other 4 to 5mm. If both are worn on the outer it's more likely tracking, correct? Shockers are fine, no leaks. |

First check for any suspension bush/bearing wear by jacking the vehicle up and checking if you can rock the wheels in any direction . If no play found, suggest you have the vehicle 4 wheel alignment checked and adjusted . Most tyre places carry out this procedure, usually takes about half an hour It only needs a pothole to put your vehicle out of track Last edited by TourerSteve; 3rd April 2021 at 17:17.. |

Had this on our ZTT and turned out to be worn trailing arm bush. Bought powerflex replacements and new brackets followed by four wheel alignment. Just had that very wheel off today and noted the now even tyre wear across the width. Before the work the rear ns tyre was severely wearing on outer edge and car was pulling to the left.
