Tyre wear
Hi all,
I've got feathering of one rear tyre, the offside, only. It's on the inside edge. It's a 156 JTDm, all new Pirellis were fitted a few months ago and the tread depth is still good apart from this obvious area of wear. Garage says it's a trait of Pirellis which is clearly B******s. Any thoughts? TonyB |

Your rear bushings are shot. They need replacing, or you'll be eating tyres. It makes them wear in a feathered pattern on the inside edge.

Mind, it's just passed an MoT this very week like it although they failed the front uppers. Together with an aircon re-charges, pollen filter change and the MoT it was just over £400. The rear tyre is shot now so the bushes will have to wait a while. Thanks again TonyB |

Not sure if it's an MOT fail, or not, but AIUI it's also very hard to check other then by the appetite for tyres, or dissembly >Together with an aircon re-charges, pollen > filter change and the MoT it was just over £400.
