Hey guys I've been noticing my rear tires have been wearing out fast.
They wear evenly, but they wear faster then the front. The tire rack said to put the newer tires on the front for fwd vehicals. what is causing this? my car is all stock with 65,xxx miles. |

i dont know what my tires are rated. They came with the car.
I recently got an alighment and the car tracks straight. So I dont know whats up.. I'm thinking the rear brakes are griping first, not sure though. |

yea that could be it.. but they might have also messed up your rear alinment.. if the toe it off you will still drive staright if the front are alinged right and are dragging the back. -------------------- |

any opinions on Tires? I have Kumho's on right now, and I got one tire back in July, looked at it today its its pretty worn.. not at bar but seems more than it should be.
Now my friend said Kumho's wear fast.. anyoe know of some better brands of tires that may not wear as much? Thanks! -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

check out the tire tread wear rating when you buy a new set of tires, this will give you a general tool for comparison of different tires. tread ratings

my car is about 1.8" drop all around with intrax now, but my tires have a lot of grip, had my tires on now for more than a year.
