Just checked tire wear, rear passenger so low😑

[JUMP SCARE]

Ok. All tires seem to be within range for 15k except rear passenger.
Wow. It is low... Super low.
I've read at least one post like this but anyone else?
What the...

2nd pic is rear driver

That really doesn't look to be even a 2/32nds difference. 2nd pic is just barely above the wear mark and 1st pic shows some, although very little tread. Power is always going to end up at one wheel before traction control kicks in. I'm assuming you never rotated the tires? That would have likely distributed the wear a little more evenly. You may have some toe issues on that wheel, probably worth an alignment. It could also just be that you have a driving pattern that just favors wear on that wheel. I used to rotate my Model X tires side to side (staggered setup, couldn't do front to back), because I always wore the driver's side tires a little faster.

Yeah you may be right. Just seems so asymmetrical comp to the rest. Maybe the pic isn't doing it too much justice. The abnormal one...it's pretty much smooth. Subtle tread left at the deepest part.
I haven't seen a tire like that since I let them go when I was in college

And yeah I didn't rotate. I was gonna 'do it myself' just like a half dozen other maintenance things.

I had the exact same thing happen.

Did they call out an alignment issue or just the way you drive?

i didnt take it in. It was a complete surprise so I’m watching it now.

 

[JUMP SCARE]

Imma take it bc of the drastic difference and I'll report back

My front was like that. I replaced them and took it in for an alignment.
Here were the results.

Ok. Thanks.
Looks like a few discrepancies there. Did you get things into spec and how the tread wear now?

 

[jeniferkey]

It hasn’t been that long since the alignment, but I do expect it to wear better in the front now. I hope I keep a better eye on it to see. I noticed the uneven wear, even though it had been in the shop for something else and they didn’t mention it a month earlier.

So had to get 4 new tires. That was a painful checkout🫤.

The alignment did have some minor outta range stuff which was tweaked a bit.
BUT one that was way out was front cross caster which is the difference between left and right casters.
Normal is -0.2 to +0.2.
Mine is -0.9

Anyone have any bright ideas and whether I should work that up. I sent them a mssg to see if we should pursue that but would like to hear any other opinions.
Thanks.
