Tyre wear and tear - Toyota Yaris Forums

shb · 06-20-2010, 11:02 PM

I bought a used yaris in jan 2008 and the tyres had reasonable treads on them for a car done 17000kms. By september 2008 I had to change the front tyres.Now in June 2010 I see the front tyres have taken quite a bit of beating and may soon need to be changed. The odo is around 28800kms. I reckon when I first changed it, it probably was 21000kms.We dont run too much and Im a careful driver,no speeding and braking,no jackrabbit starts nothing. I read somewhere that front wheel drives wear out tyres faster.Is that true? Especially during turining and braking? My tyres keep fading like this I will be in trouble..tyres are expensive to change so fast. I know the first time I didnt check tyre pressure but ever since I changed I check pressure every alternate week on cold tyres. What am I doign wrong?what more could I do? Please advise.
