On a FWD vehicle, does it makes sense if the rear tires wear faster than the front?
I bought a brand new set of falken ziex 512 last october and put 10k miles on it. The treadwear indicator on the front tires is almost at the 25% worn(i can see the cicle a lil bit) and on the rears i can only see the square part of the indicator. Thanks -------------------- God made man....

QUOTE (Hanyo @ Mar 22, 2011 - 1:22 AM)  what toe-in means is the two back tires point towards each other. So they will scrub the tire bald evenly. Toe in on the rear of the car will not affect how the car drives on the street. In a racing application, it will actually produce under steer during cornering but at the cost of tire wire. i see. i feel more understeer on this car compared to my 95.
