LWB Rear Tyres Wear T6.1 T30

[Pidsley]

Just coming up to 18k miles and 4 years old. The rear tyres are completely worn yet the fronts have a good 5mm on them, but are cracking. The van is a fully converted Revolution Ricos with 40mm lowered on springs with MOMO revenge 18s, 255/45/R18 103W Saferich tyres. Apart form the obvious answer that , "there must be more weight on the back", has anyone got any thoughts on why the heavy wear on the rears? Also, the passenger side are more work than the drivers side both front and rear. TIA.

Do you swap over front to rear tyres on occasion? Has the suspension been correctly aligned? Some suspension specialists have misgivings on excessively lowered suspension set ups not sure at what height of lowered suspension they start to have misgivings about. I assume that your vehicle is 2WD. Never heard of Saferich Tyres suggest buying quality tyres from main recognised brands.

Hi there. Not swapped front and rear before. But I'm replacing all four this week and will get a four wheel alignment check done. Then will keep a closer eye on wear in future and swap if necessary.

There's lots of people on here that run cheap nasty tyres yet spend good money on everything else for their van , god knows why ?
I'm assuming that's what the vans come fitted with when they come from the converters .
Also wheel and tyre packages very rarely come with a premium tyre option .

Yes, They did come with the van when converted. I was really green then and didnt check. Not that I'm much better now, but learning fast. Will def invest in good tyres this time round.
