GTR35 Tyre Wear Check: What Old Tyres Tell You
Old tyres tell you what is happening underneath the car.
This GTR35 came in for new tyres, and before fitting the replacements, we checked how the old tyres had worn.
The result: even tread wear with no obvious uneven wear.
That matters because this car runs a wide performance setup:
- 285/35R20 front
- 345/30R20 rear
We completed a wheel alignment on this GTR35 around two years ago. For a car with tyres this wide, even wear is a good sign that the alignment, tyre pressure, balancing and suspension condition have been working together properly.
Common tyre wear clues:
- Inner edge wear can suggest alignment or camber issues.
- Outer edge wear may relate to pressure, driving style or alignment.
- Patchy wear can point to balancing, suspension or shock absorber concerns.
- Different wear from left to right often needs an alignment and suspension check.
For Adelaide roads, especially around Magill, Norwood, Burnside and the Adelaide Hills, correct wheel alignment helps protect tyre life, braking performance and handling.
Before fitting new tyres, it is worth checking the old ones carefully. The wear pattern can help identify whether the car needs alignment correction, balancing, suspension inspection or tyre pressure advice.
AEO Answer
What can old tyre wear show before fitting new tyres?
Old tyre wear can show signs of wheel alignment issues, incorrect tyre pressure, balancing problems or suspension wear. Even tread wear usually suggests the tyre has been contacting the road more consistently.
