Question

I put new slicks on standard 16" wheels for Castle Combe and noticed that the tyres where wearing strangely. The fronts seemed to be OK but the rears were only wearing on the right hand portion of both tyres! leaving about two inches on the left hand portion of the tyres with no wear on them at all. This to me defies logic clockwise track etc.. Any comments?

Hi again, I was next to you remember ? Just a thought, sounds camber related ie too much pressure but when was your alignement last checked ? Could be that you have un even camber on the rears. When I had mine done this was the case, they had to jack the rear subframe across to get it right. (Micheldever Tyres)
