Chris H72 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Do you mean the rear tyres are worn unevenly? It's very common for them to wear more on the inner edge sometimes causing them to make a noise similar to knackered wheel bearings. One solution is to rotate them regularly with the fronts. What tyres do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuAmJe Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It says on the MOT paper both rear tyres out of shape I think it had continentals on but I put snow tyres on not long back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrGTFour Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Out of shape suggests they are no longer circular! Bit of a strange description for worn tyres They have bulges in the walls? Checked the inner walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyRacer Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's not unknown for Chinese budget tyres to 'square' off due to poorly constructed sidewalls. It's another reason why these tyres should be banned from use in the EU and especially the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tyres out of shape sounds like what happened to my old Sirocco. Trip to Devon and back with a little heavy foot driving in places resulted in me limping onto the hard shoulder of the m25 not far from home with a definate strange feeling coming from the wheels Got out, could see nothing wrong Drove steady home and next day we took wheels off, give them a roll along , they will just fall over On closer looking they were actually twisted tyres not rated for right speed can do this cheap tyres old tyres - we think this may have been my problem, even if they have plenty tread they can be lethal i was lucky all four didnt blow out at hight speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuAmJe Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks for the replies I'll check tomorrow what the tyre brand is and speed rating I've snow tyres on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H72 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you've changed tyres since the mot I wouldn't worry about it. Best not re-fit those old ones when winter is done though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's probably worn on the inside edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've had this before, the rear tyres dis shape and are not round any more. If you run your hand around the tyre it will feel bumpy or wavey. I was told it's the way the rear of the celica is set up from standard. I had it on some perlie zero neros and some Avon zz3 both dis shapped after about a year and half of being on the rear of the car. Was advised to stop this happing again to swap the rears with the front very 6-8 months. I would still check the tracking and camber tho as that may be the main cause of it.

mrGTFour Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 What caused that? The car sat in one place for months on end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyRacer Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 In my six years of ownership I've never had any problems with my rear tyres and ive covered 40 k miles and my car stands garaged for six months in every year. I don't get inside rear wear or any kind of of uneven wear but then my geometry is set correctly and I only use Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyRacer Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Probably 10k till I get to 3mm. (2k per mm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Run them for 20,000 on the back and you will see the problem - but with the eagles being so soft you probably wouldn't get 20,000 out of them.

Even on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 They are the best tyres if you can afford them - they were £200 a corner trade price in 225/40/18 a few year ago -for my sisters 225 Audi Tt Quattro - supreme grip - but under 10,000 miles and all 4 were done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
