I noticed today my rear tires seem to be wearing at a much faster rate than the front ones. I'm at a loss as to why this would be.

mine are wearing uneven too, i swear i only put 150 miles on em last weekend b4 i rotated em then did another 150 and they all 4 look worn now. it was only a 2.23 MILE 15 TURN TRACK w/ 60-80 nmph corners and 90-120 mph straights...wassup w that? :scratch:

That's an idea! Maybe you can glue it back on!
I find that tacks work better for replacing the rubber............

Seems like someone's sarcasm meter is a little off
Perhaps we need a create "A Guide To Understanding The Meaning Of Forum Smilies" document?

Now you tell me! I tried glueing the flecks of rubber back on with superglue, only to find it all over my wheelwell again after a short time :bang:

I'll drop by the drugstore tonight and get a pack of tacks and give that a shot

Should I use the ones with longer point so they'll stay on?

oh man, this thread, just today I smelled my tires for what I like to call "Burning" and "smoking" why is this happening ONLY to the rear and not all four???? It only seems to happen on desolate roads when no one is around

I wonder how many times our service tech have seen this problem? Perhaps we should inquire with them and, if they ask, show them how to reproduce it.

Okay.........this is IMPORTANT!! LISTEN UP!!

I just saw a commercial on t.v. There was this guy that got cancer from second hand smoke and died.

Moral: Keep your windows rolled up, smoke is bad! Used rubber is a good year though. B)

Sound like there needs to be a TSB - While accelerating Gas pedal uncontrollably and inexplicitly hits the floor boards...

There may be Rx for the Lead foot... probably should see your podiatrist..

and Amitriptyline or Prozac may help overcome the Obsessive compulsive disorder; urge to floor it regularly...
