Got a flat tyre tonite (Problems) Help!

Tonite i got a flatty. Went down very quickly, about 5 mins?

Put the spare bike tyre on and noticed that the wear on the inside was a little concerning? Then checked other side and this seemed very similar.

Tyres are only 7 months old and only done 4.5k. Tread seems ok from outer edge but inner edge has worn quite badly. WHY is this?, any help appreciated:( Don,t want to buy new tyres only to change in a few months?

Presume that's the REARS ?!?

if so, they DO wear much quicker inside edge ! !

a mixture of lots of Camber (lean IN of tyre),

generally soft tyres,

a likkle bit of power thru REAR WHEEL DRIVE

What MAKE ??

(our last tyres - Toyo T1-R's - only did ~5,000 but the left was

INCREDIBLY worn inside edge = too much toe-in)

Sorry, yeh rears. 4.5k is a little concerning, especially when its not out a lot, mainly days off/ weekends? Can this be checked by a k/fit or n/tyres?

Tyres are ECSTA (supra) 255/35/18

I had mine set up on an optical 4 wheel alignment top of the range thingy in Worthing, W. Sussex.

Since the car had been lowered in Japan it hadn't been adjusted. All the tyres were shot as ALL the settings were way out.....

Lots of tweaking later, and £215 its spot on to the Lance W numbers, and handles so much better.

I think there's a place in Norh Wales that does the same optical alignment for club members for £85????

Quick Farce won't be able to do anything other than front tracking. You need an expert, who can do it properly.

D - my tyres are wearing more on the inside than the outside, I was going to get them swapped across the rears. but also got some quotes for replacements in case the inner edge has gone too far.

This was the exact problem that killed my Fronts, severe wear on the inner edge, with the outer edge still having loads of tread left. I suspect it's because the wheels might not be the same offset as stockers and they are 18"s rather than 17"s. I would guess that the alignment hasn't been tweaked to compensate / mitigate the differences.

Hmmm, sounds like a plan. Could do with that 4one number though? or name.
