I put staggered wheels on my 1999 gs400. The rear tires lasted 5 months. Is this normal? I recently installed my stock tires and rims and noticed that the rear tires are wearing fast. Anyone know why this is happening??? Please help

Is the wear even across the tires and how many miles did you get?

check your alignment.

Worn even across the rear tires...alignment is off by 1 degree

Average mileage daily driver but just to work n back. Maybe 6000 miles or a little more

what are you lower on? i have 2degree Neg. camber in front and rear... was told that it wont ware too bad but im seeing it is... i drive 30 miles a day... and im running copper zeons... 19 stagger lower with k-sports springs plus front sage RCA,...only thing that im looking into is camber kit.... but its costly.... i rather bag then doing coils or springs....

On the 2GS, it's common that the toe is usually out of specs for the rears.

I never had a prob with my old rims and tires 245/35/20 all around but after having 275/30/20 on the rear they began to ware fast. I don't drive crazy so 5 months on the tires is crazy. Falken fk52

It happened to my buddys car. I adjusted the toe setting and all better now.

Nothing to do with a staggered set up. People on this forum have been running staggered on the GS for 12+years. If anything your front tires are supposed to wear out waaaay ahead of your rears. I've got 295/25-20 on the rear with no issues.




1 degree of what ??? Caster, camber or toe ??

Show us your Alignment Sheet so we can make an analytical assessment of your problem, instead of just guessing, which is all we can do right now.

If this is an alignment issue, it sounds like another case of toe out.

Nothing chews up tires faster than excessive toe out.

Did I miss on how its worn? Is it worn on the edges (inner or outer) or is it an even wear, or just in the middle of the tire?


Edit: I think I read even wear across entire tire right?

Tires are worn even
