[QUOTE="torch, post: 1467586, member: 1295"] If there's no chicken strips on the back on the back then you're doing it wrong! <lol> Ok, seriously, it's not at all unusual to see different wear comparing left side to right side, especially on a front tire. Typically in North America we will see greater wear on the right side compared to the left. That's because we drive on the right hand side of the road. Right hand curves and corners are tighter than left hand curves and corners, so at any given speed, the front tire is subjected to greater force turning right than left. If you want even tire wear, dive deeper into the lefts, then turn sharper, simulating the lean angle a right hand turn would require. One way to gauge it is to make sure the curb feelers engage evenly on each side. Which would also take care of your chicken strip problem. <lol> [/QUOTE]
