Uneven tire wear front vs rear - asking for advice

[ccm911]

So he needs to soften up the front, not the rear, correct? So I did have it wrong.

Sorry, David.

Chris,

Not a contradiction at all. I am simply stating that it is not unusual for a tire manufacturer to stagger pressures front to rear. I would start with tire guidelines based on the Tire Co. first.

If the setup is based on the driver, then this can be part of the problem. Without an adjustable front bar tightening the rear will help, but less on entry more on exit. If the shocks are adjustable I would seek a similar solution to dealing with entry and again driving style is also a big factor.

Hi Chris,

I know you keep your front and rear tire pressures about equal.  Porsche has your 951 at even pressure front and rear, seems odd because there's no real difference between our cars except for HP and brakes.  Porsche has tire pressure for the 'S' at 29 front ( I use 31) and 36 rear. After each session I check the presures, they have been hardly changing with the Nitto's, Hankook's and Kumho's that I previously used always went up a few lbs.  The Nitto's are wearing evenly in the front, they're just wearing out quickly. 

Yes, someone before me replaced the stock bars with M030's.  Fronts not adjustable.  The shocks are adjustable front and rear.  I'll try leaving the rear firm and softening up the front struts.

Could be the way I drive...

I haven't been able to get this year yet but will go to Pocono and Summit in the Fall.  C U then.
