Uneven rear tyre wear

I know this issue has been covered in other threads, but I can't find them, so...
My 18" Pirellis have now covered 22k and are all down to 4 or 5mm - apart from the inner edges of both rears, which are completely bald.

I have 2 reasons for making this post:

Firstly, to warn others to check more carefully and more frequently than me Exclamation

Secondly, to seek advice .... Is this "normal", should I accept it, and what would cause it?

All advice as ever gratefully received,






Dave

I would suggest that this is not 'normal'

No it's not acceptable. My LR3 05 SE7 had this problem and was able to get Land Rover to replace at 11,000 miles. Now my LR 06 HSE is showing this at 6,000 miles, they will replace under warrenty. Since I caugh this so early.


There also a search. If you search for tyre(tire) wear you find lots of info.

It will be interesting to see if you can get a new set of tyres under warranty.

Before starting on your next set, get your dealer, at the least, to undertake the full four-wheel alignment procedure.

Get your dealer to do alignment, then they've got evidence if alignment is out of spec, and if milage low, see if Land Rover can assist.
