Differing tread wear...


Lafta

Recommended Posts

I recently had my tread wear measured. There is some difference in my 4 tires. How crucial is this difference?

I have read from a previous post that it can cause stress to my differential, and even to my transmission. Yikes!

 

Pardon me, the metric measurements.

LF 4.77mm

LR 4.24

RF 5.68

RR 5.46

 

Thank you.

Subaru specifically states no difference in degree of wear.

 

How often do you rotate tires? It should be every oil change, or every other at the most.

 

If they were all measured in approximately the same groove, then I'd swap your RF and LR tires, and your LF and RR tires if they aren't directional. And get your alignment checked.

I get them rotated *every* oil change. I'll check on the alignment. But there is *no* pull when I drive and let go of the steering wheel.

My last alignment was when I had the new tires put on, 14,000 miles/2 years ago ago. Too long?

 

Thanks for the "I'd swap your RF and LR tires, and your LF and RR tires if they aren't directional", suggestion.
