Tyre wear please help

[Urko]

Hi, I have been replacing my rear tyres more often than my undies
Ute is lowered (king springs sssl + Monroe GT shocks)
Bought MAXXIS, done 15.000 km and there is almost no tread left (this was my 3 set of tyres, done 45k so far)...normal driving
Been doing wheel alignment every 5.000 km, checking tyre pressure etc...it doesn't help
Front tyres are fine the only problem is with rear ones. It looks they wear even across.
There must be something wrong because this is not normal. I have been asking around what to do and everybody is telling me that this is because my ute is lowered...
I am from Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise)...Does anyone know where would be the best place to go???
Do I need camber kit...

Thanks
Uros

If it wasn't even wear I'm guessing it would be easy to work out what is off. But the fact it is even means I would normally say to much ... wheel spin

Like you I also have a MY9.5 SSV ute which was on SSSL/Monroes from the first day I picked it up new, but I also had 20x9 & 20x10 DTM Shine rims fitted with Kumho KU31 tyres, 245 front and 275 rear. Are you running stock rims?

My first set of fronts did over 50,000km and first rears did 25,000 and ended up slightly more worn on the inside due to the fact they had extra camber so I didn’t keep scrubbing (guards fully rolled). My second set of KU31 rears did 30,000km and I’m now on my 3rd set. Somewhere during the time the second set were on I changed to H&R coilovers which I suspect may have contributed to the extra mileage as my driving style (99% grandpa ) didn’t change.

There’s about an inch of tuck on the rear so whilst it’s low it’s not outrageously low. Given your wear is even I’m afraid I’m tempted to agree with Drizt ………….

VEs should not need a camber kit from all I’ve read and heard.

Hi Wonky, yea still running stock rims...
What you guys think about Pedders XA Extreme coilovers???What else should I get, I am prepared to spend few bucks...

Harrop KW Street Comfort coil overs or H&R coil overs.

Avoid the pedders stuff as they have high failure rates.

Or DMS but there expensive $5600 for the 50mm and adjustable tops to suite VE VF but good. And there is a story about Pedders copying DMS but we dont want to go there! And DMS quality is way above Pedders.

Been told by someone who uses the 50mm that they would not recommend them for street use. 40mm is more suitable.

Yea its not really a streetable setup its very stiff it depends on the springs though you can customise them they have 4 ways as well which is ideal but takes an expert to set them up you have slow speed bump and rebound and high speed bump and rebound 32 adjustments for all 4 and then the tops can be moved to adjust camber and caster.

For me the 4 ways are ideal for street events like targa and the alpine etc because you want to set the car up for heaps of variation which is harder then a smooth race track.

Has anyone been to Mermaid Suspension Centre yet?

To be honest, why would you bother? Many many cars far more suitable to such events. Commodores are shopping trolleys not race cars.

Reread it and it sounds harsher than it did in my head. No offence meant.

I think thos thread is not about my issue anymore...

I think your issue is with having a heavy right foot.
