as a fellow board member just recently blew one of his rear tire due to the inner side wall completely worn out, please take few minutes go the the car bend over & check the rear tire. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

we all have at least +1 degree nagative camber in the rear of our cars for better handling reason. therefore the inside will wear out a lot faster than the outside & u can't see it. this is very common & please don't freak out. rear tire will probably have about half life as front & should have no more than 10k miles.

again, u don't want the tire to blow out when u go 80+ mph. so please go check the tire & have a safe drive!

 

Too much rear toe will also cause this...

 

this is the best post in a long *** time.

thanx

 

and... if you have a MB 211 E class, that has been lowered check this on your FRONT tires as they can wear out even faster than the rears on a 996TT!
(don't ask me how I know)

 

how ya know?

 

Arling.

 

Another good tip:
Watch out for uneven pavement seams when going 70 MPH in 2nd gear through a corner. The resulting pressure on the sidewall as your tire slides into the bump/seam can cause the bead of your tire to separate from the rim and your car to go sideways VERY fast. Don't ask me how I know that...
