850T - Does right front tire wear more quickly?

Post by **Sperry** » 07 Feb 2010, 18:27

My right front tire seems to wear more quickly than the others.
Does it have something to do with the torque,
or would it probably be a suspension issue?

Also:
I'm going to do an "X" rotation this week.
I notice the Columba rims are R/L specific.
If my tires are not directional, would it matter if I did a simple "X" rotation?

The tires are Michelin Primacys, which I believe are almost 2 years / 60K old.

Unless your are spinning out or cornering at excessive speeds turning left(quite likely) it is an alignment issue. Any old rotation will work fine with the Columbia rims; purely cosmetic. I turn very hard left corners so I do wear my outside edge on my RF tire a bit more than my other tires.

Can a front left tire can wear out more quickly? = longer radius on the left turn, more left turns? BUT my opinion, if they would have been crossed front to rear, since installed the wear would have balanced out.
BTW.UPS yes big brown has been studying and practicing right turn tech-delivery systems..= less waiting time..

No. You need to have an alignment done. Mine did too, and it turned out to be a bent control arm that could not be properly aligned and was causing the car to pull left, and the right tire was wearing out more quickly because the alignment done on the car was done to compensate for that.
