I have notice that the tyre wear condition of front and rear tyres are quite different.
It looks kinda strange that the rear tyres got all the "scratches" on the outside.
Something is not right?

Both tyres, left and right side? Any scrubbing on the wheel arch fender?
How is the tyre wear on the pattern?

Yup, both side. It is original size, no scrubbing wor...
The wear at the pattern is normal, no scratches like on the side.
Only happened to the rear, front ok...

Possible due to the chamber adjustment?
Coz I did chamber adjustment in last wheel alignment...

If camber out the pattern wear on the shoulder pattern will be uneven. If alignment out pattern wear will also be like being shave off.
Another question, did you do on wheel balancing for the rear tyres? or were they rotated from the front?

If improper air pressure then the inside should have wear too.

Looks more like hard cornering or did on wheel balancing... smile_tongue.gif

Nope, it's a saloon. I mostly drive alone smile.gif

I guess it could be my negligence and more aggressive driving recenly.
Wanna quickly use up the tyre and change before GST smile_tongue.gif
