Rear Tires dont last more than 100 miles

[Bigballin]

actually the rear tires last for about 300 milles then its completly bald. this started happening after i completed my 5 Lug conv. i replaced the whole rear knuckle for both sides (if that helps any). im pretty sure i know what the problem is but i would like some advice or info before i proceed to fix it.

thanks

sounds like you have a heavy foot

um.... dont mean to be an ass but the red square lets me know ur a noob.. as am i.. but do u have a welded diff? changin to 5 lug should't be the reason your tires are goin bald.. correct me if im wrong.

Check the toe in or out of the wheels, or for excessive amout's of camber.
do you have RUCA's? or any onther non-stock rear suspension parts?


Or you could try to lay off the gas a little bit:keke:

Is it only the inner portion of the tire or the complete thing?

get an alignment.

but do u have a welded diff?

Hahahah you're retarded.

I have welded diff, and my tires last for thousands of miles.

Obviously this is a toe in/out problem, that's the only logical explanation of this kind of wear (aside from drifting). Not even camber should wear this much tire that fast.

I suggest you see an alignment shop ASAP

you have a toe problem

get an alignment.

[Bigballin]

i figured it would be an alignment problem. just wanted to make sure. thanks for the replies!

[wonkuuzenki]

No problem.
you could even drive up to NM and i would gladly do it for you.

Oh wait, you wouldn't make it here, haha:)

...

What the others said : alignment !

[BoostinGST]

toe problem... if it were fwd it could be the wheel bearings but the fact that the rear wheels control how fast the car is moving tells you its the toe... get an alignment as the others said... and lighten up on the gas pedal ;)

[pbcstylez]

go fix you BIG toe

[KA-T_240]

Alignment problems probably caused from having stuff loose while doing your 5-lug swap.

i had the same issue. My brand new BFG's were gone in about 3 months and then my new falkens were gone in 3 months. So when i spent the bucks on nice tires for my new rims i went and got an alignment and sure enough it was way off. Gave them my own specs and now my new tires dont even show any sign of wear with about 1000 miles on um. Oh yeah i have a welded diff to.

[Irukandji]

Alignment.

Welded diff won't do shit. I don't know why people always bitch about it. I drove with a welded diff for 2 years and I only had to change rear tires ONCE for my daily wheels (track was a different story)

[Sonic Motor]

I too, believe that its your Toe.

welded diff doesnt waste tires that fast. I use to rock welded :)

[FaLKoN240]

I have welded diff, and my tires last for dozens of oil changes, because I don't drift much...
