Faster wear rate on left tyres (outer side)

[Ixat]

Bro, mine also uni-directional tire. My wear rate is very even on individual tire. Car is properly aligned.

 

So I'm advised to rotate at 10k front to back. 20k rotate front to back.

 

30k remove tire from rims and swop sides left/right and also rotate front to back.

 

40k rotate front to back. After 40k can just do front/back for maybe another 10k and buy new tires already

Side slip testing is actually to measure the total side rotating forces develop by both wheel camber angle setting. Toe angle is set to conteract the sideward pulling force. Normally the wheels angles are measured and set with wheel aligner and if the car does drift to one side when put on side slip test than it indicated the toe angle need to be increase or decrease slightly. If the drife is towards the driver side, then the driver side wheel tie-rod will be adjusted.

Side slip tester can be used to test wheel bearing conditions and ball joint wears just by interpretating the readings.

Tks for the clarifications. Will get the mechanic to verify the side slip in my coming 100K servicing.
