Tire Tread!!!

[billytheman1188]

OK, i didnt know where the hell to put this, but i have 18 chrome rims and hankook tires. the tread is going pretty fast on the front tires, and they have only seen about 6000miles. the back ones are fine. i dont drive like a crazy person (doing burnouts and shit). i cant swap the back rims onto the front because one of the back rims is bent a LITTLE bit, you wouldnt be able to notice it, its not too bad. but if i keep it on the back its fine. so thats out of the question. im going to take my rims off today, because i want to have some tread after winter.......

so anybody else have this problem? i just got an alignment done about a month or two ago, and i didnt notice any weird tire wear......

[pimpalero2003]

dont have that problem how soft are ur tires?

[nickbain]

are they wearing evenly? If so then It's probibly just how the tires wear. If you rotate them then you will get more life out of them.

[billytheman1188]

i have the tires at 28psi, i could always put 30 in next time i have the rims on, but i just think that might be too hard for them.

cant rotate them, cause one of the rims in the back in bent a little (i said that above:lol:). if i put that one on the front the car will shake when i go over 65mph

[jayson_waltz]

if you take in the bent wheel to be properly balanced it won't shake, if its only slightly bent like you said. balancing my bent wheel fixed my shake.

just have a shop remove the tire off the bent rim in the back and put that good tire with enough 32nds on the front rim and vice versa. But rotating them would help prolong the thread.

[nickbain]

ya thats what I meant by rotating them..take the tire off the damaged rim and change the tires around

[SittinOnChrome]

I have the same brand tires had problems with them wearing out too fast also even after alignment and balance still cupping had to rotate after 8k

hankook blowssss

yeah thats the last time I buy that brand :haha:

[jabartram]

you run your tires at 28 psi? dam i run my BFG KDW's at 44 psi and i do drive like a madman and they hook very well in all situations, if i run mine at 28 psi my car would feel like it was soggy.

dont be a wuss :p

[alerored04]

I am with Jabartram. I have a rim that is bent pretty badly on the front and i dont notice it. And i drive HARD.

[pimpalero2003]

from what i heard put a little more psi in the tire it makes it last longer but rides ruffer

[Spilner521]

Which model Hankook tires?

If you add more air pressure they would last longer. You should fill it close to the max limit posted on the side of the tire.

[Jferg2223]

Had hankook ventus on my probe gt and yes they do suck i had a pair of fusion hri that were softer, cheaper, hooked up better, and lasted twice as long

[Redog]

It's prpbably just the brand

I has Sumtito HTR+ 4's on my car and they started out great and I rotated them but a 40K mile tire only lasted 20

I would check the MFG's recomended PSI on the side of the tire. 28 seems way to low. If you want a softer ride your gonna have to pay with more frequent tire purchases because of uneven wear or blowouts do to heat buildup.

I have pirelli's on my car and they have worn awesome. They have 30K on them now. They are a little noisy, but nothing the turning up the radio doesn't fix. I run between 32 & 35 PSI in mine

[Cliff8928]

I run my continentals at 41 front, 36 rear. That way I get even wear out of them and keep it on the tread, not the sidewall :coolio:

They've got about 20k on them so far and It's just about time to replace the front two (yeah, I never rotated them)

[billytheman1188]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. When i put the tires on after winter i will put about 34psi in. The thing is.....when i went to get a tire put on my rim (the first time, when there was a bubble in the sidewall), the guy told me that i probably put too much air in, i told him i had put around 32psi and hes like "yea thats too much, put about 28 in", he was a douche. Old russian guy, started yelling at me when i said "no i definitley didnt put too much air in, and i didnt hit a lot of pot holes", LOL then he gave me some attitude. That was a fun day.

Anyways, about the bent rim, i tried putting it on the front and it shakes kind of bad, i notice everything on my car (how it rides). Plus, if i put that one the front, it could fuck up my alignment too.....

[Oldsnut]

Sounds like the guy sold you a bad tire to begin with if there was a bubble in it on the first fill.

nooo, the bubble was in the tire that i bought online. Then i went to a place that had hankook tires, and tried to get my money back because i didnt hit any big pot hole or anything. Then he started acting like a douche, cause i came in there wanting a tire for free. But the hankook website told me to go to a place around me and they might give me a free one, i dont remember. lol, but the dude was a dick, but the guy who put the tire on was an old dude, and hes the one who told me the rim was bent a little bit, he also showed me. I would go back there to have my tire mounted and balanced just cause that guy actually knows what hes doing. I dont trust places where they hire teenagers.:lol:
