Thread: Weird front tyre wear on the defender!.

I thought the same, someone has swapped one of their wheels with yours.

How heavy are you?

Check out the damper on that side. I had problems with seals on the front dampers till I changed to another brand.

Have checked all tie rod ends joints, etc everything looks feels tight. Anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks

Sumo

are you sure the right hand front is wearing twice as fast? maybe the left hand front is wearing twice as slow!

No seriously get your shocks checked out... sounds stoopid but my cousin had a van that was wearing the passenger tyre at an od and alarming rate. Took it to my mechanic and in about 13seconds he said...'needs new shock'... I thought how can a shock have that much impact on tyre wear... apparently it does, cause the problem is fixed.

Do you have lots of long fast right hand sweepers in you daily driving?

That sounds like tyre pressures are too low.
