    uneven DC5R tyre wear??

    it seems as though my rear tyres are wearing twice as quick as my fronts anyone else experiance this??
    i'm running toyo t1r,cars a dc5r, lowered on bc n+ about 40mm,running oem alighnment specs. done 25k on the set, and the rears, which i don't reckon i've rotated(front2back) for over 10k are just about on the wear indicaters while the fronts look brand new. wear is pretty even across the tyres to,
    my only explenation is that i rotated em recently when pissed or well hungover and i can't remember(possibility)
    any thoughts?
    should i have a few beers and see if my memory improves?
    or am i just not lighting em up enough??
    maybe i should do both???
    Cheers

      Even with Tyre pressure way out and bad wheel alignment. The back does nun of the work. Front accelerates. brakes and steers. Back's should last twice as long as fronts. On a front wheel drive Car. Hitting the piss to hard i think.... No that feelling!!!

        tyre pressures are fine, havn't had alighnment done for about 18 months, could it be to much rear toe? like i said, wear is pretty even across the tyre on both rears

          but what is "fine" for tyre pressures? You are technically meant to only have 32psi in the rear.

          Otherwise it is probably your toe being out.

                That would contribute to uneven wear. I would get your alignment checked.

                Also you said it's lowered on "oem" alignment specs. unless you have a rear camber kit then you will have extra negative camber (probably -1.8-2 degrees or more) on the rear and 0 on the front. This would also contribute with over inflation of tyres.

                  yes i'm running skunk2 rear camber kit and while 36psi is over oem recommendations, i can't see how it can cause such uneven wear front to rear, i'll look at getting alighnment checked in the new year when i've got some time
