    Default Rear tires wearing faster

    Hi, have you guys have this issue wherein the rear tires wear faster than the fronts? It's evenly worn out.

    Lowered on Corksport springs
    Tires are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

    I had the car aligned after installing the springs and I've put at least 10,000kms on the tires. The fronts still look new, though.

    Are your tires wearing equally across the tread or just on the inside edge?

    My front tires wear a lot more than my rear tires... Maybe due to front wheel drive and lots of higher speed turns... Although I lost the last coil on the springs due to rust or some other wears on both my rear suspensions, we may think my rear end is lowered a bit too...

    Usually how many ppl in your car? Fully loaded on rear seat?

    It's always just me but if I have passengers, there's usually only one person at the back.

    I'm now wondering if this could be due to an incorrect toe adjustment?

    I don't think that will make much difference for extra wearing... And if tuned too much, it won't wear evenly...

    Plus, Same reason, front wheel drive and cornering will wear the front tires more than the rear tires...

    As what I've said on my first post, it's the rear tires that are showing excessive wear, not the front tires.

    Yes, so I feel it strange too.... No reason for that...

    As you have some mods on the suspension, that's the only explanation...

    Issue is solved. Brought the car at Nextmod to get the alignment checked and the toe alignment on all 4 wheels are screwed.
