Which tires wear faster ???

Hi, so I hit a pothole destroying my runflat. Instead of buying new, I decided to buy used, to get closer to the wear on my other side. ( staggered setup)

So on my fronts now, I will have one tire with 8/32nds and the other with 7/32nds. Have you guys noticed if either side wears faster, driver front, or passenger front. TIA. .

Whats your problem man, is it really hard to understand? If one side wears faster, Id put the thicker tire on that side to slightly extend the life of both tires involved. So to answer your question, my reply is .. IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION? WTF?

I suppose it depends on your daily route. Are you making more right turns or more left turns? I don稚 believe the vehicle inherently wears more on one side or the other unless you have an alignment issue on one side.

My problem is today I’m a bit of an asshole because someone pissed in my cornflakes. Normally I’d just move on to the next thread, but this goes down as one of the all-time dumbest questions I’ve ever seen. You’ll realize it later.

Or he could always just turn more corners than another and it may compensate for the 1/32 difference. Of course better measure often to be sure.

Hey Dr, I suppose you think that the phenomenon of tire rotations is a big waste of time as well, right? I wont realize anything later. Just move along.

Anyway, I think I got my answer from __AD__ . Thanks.

From replacing my tyres once, the left hand (passenger tyres - UK based) we池e a little more worn than the drivers. I suspect it痴 because we have lots of roundabouts here, so spend more time turning right. Seems logical to me!
