is this normal? Both front tires (RE11A) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

WoOosOn · 04-18-2014, 01:20 PM

I just recent bought 245/40r17 re11a. Did 2 track days. I also spun out twice. But my front tires tread is reversed and poking outwards. Just wondering if this is normal. Name: uploadfromtaptalk1397841579097.jpg

That's pretty normal after a lot of hard driving, track days, auto-x, etc.

I just thought it was really weird cause the rear tires look fine. Sorry newbie here -_-' I never seens tires like that.

Your fronts are going to get a lot more wear for a novice driver in a (likely) pushy stock car.

I was pretty sure it was my novice driving. Thanks for the info.

Dont worry about it, most of us here are novices.

It's normal, all 4 of my RE11a's did that.

mrk1 · 04-18-2014, 02:06 PM

Looks like a fun day. Novice mistakes or not you still got a day in at the track. Thats a win in my book and more then I can say for my track season so far.

mine did that too. i attributed it to being a dork in the corners.

That's normal for understeer

Had the exact same thing happen on my RF and RR tires running counter-clockwise on a track. Rotating the tires to the left side helped even out the wear.

Kumho XS on my other car looked even more reversed, noticed it after spinning in autox
