Rear tyre wear...

Mon Apr 13, 2009 11:26 am

Hi all,

looking for a bit of advice. I am in the process of replacing the rear shocks on the touring, I was checking out the brakes etc and I noticed the inner edge of both rear tyres (and the spare, so its obviosuly been happening a while prior to me buying it, oops) is worn right down, while the outer edge has little wear and the tread is generally pretty good across the rest of the tyres. Anything glaringly obvious I should look at replacing before I bung new rubber on please? Mot is looming too...

Thanks in advance.

my -40 at the rear doesnt cause excessive wear like that.

Its not lowered as far as I can tell....but it does have the E30 wear pattern!!

I am guessing this is normal??

Any other ideas or is it a case of it is what it is?

Cheers!
