when driving just going around a traffic island my rear tyres squeel and sometimes just going over a bump makes a small squeel hicas has been eliminated what do you guys think there 10" wheels 275/35/18 i do have spacers in and the tryes seem to be wearing fast aswell ???

hi mate well can't say for sure but my tires have been squeeling today my prob is hot rubber and cheap tyres, if there wearing fast is it just on the outside edges, or inside edges or just the inside or the out side edge

no its the whole tyre - but i dont drive fast and never wheel spin at all

not sure at all on this one may just be the hot weather and a soft compound tyre so wear is exsesive

 

sorry i could not help bud

just tyre scrub - worse on wide rear tyres... if you imagine as the tyre's going round a corner it has to 'rotate' slightly to make the turn as the outside and inside edges have to rotate at the same speed. Vary's between tyre brands - just gone to goodyear's from bridgestones on my company car and it squeals like a pig now! The recent hot weather doesn;t help either!

I had this, turned out to be low pressure

hmmm i would have thought that with them being wider there is more area in contact with the road, and seeing hows pressure = force/area then with less pressure on the tyre it would last longer. hmmm

I've only ever seen this on cheap tyres. Cheap = hard squealy rubber.

Too much or too little pressure can cause tyres to squeel. Too much pressure will also cause them to wear quickly.

 

Either that or you will have to get a smaller/lighter sub... :tongue:

can you give us you tyre specs including preasure.

get your tracking checked especially if your tyres are wearing down !

I had this on a BMW, turned out to be the limited slip diff was way to tight (if thats the word) which didnt allow enough slip going round corners. Drifted well though!

The tyre footprint will still be the same whether they are wider or not. Depending on tyre/wheel profile and vehicle weight/load.

dunlop sport tyres on there chris put them on going for p zeros next i think but if it has a prob want to get it sorted first

as per my previous post tony get the tracking checked !

ok mate will do - could it be the rear wheels aint quite straight ?? not sure how the hicas eliminator works - just know it has one lol !!
