Uneven tyre wear

[gtr-gaz]

I noticed the rear left hand side tyre on my Renault Master is very uneven.
Can't be tracking, it's not that kind of wear

It looks and feels like an old threepenny bit (remember those )

Any idea what the cause is? It's front wheel drive and is never loaded above it's design weight.

Thanks

cheap tyres?

Or has it been stood for a while, or maybe a combination of both?

Might not be the alignment that is out, but the toe settings etc might not be correct.

uneven as in patchy? probably shocks if so.

according to all the posters in MOT stations etc anyway

Yes, very patchy. As to type of tyres, they are Michelins and came on the van when I bought it new. Two years old now and done 60,000 miles on them, so no complaints, apart from this one tyre.
Interesting point about shocks though, never thought of that!

WOT he said^^^^^^^^

My mate had the same prob with his Mrs Citroen.
Also accpmpanied by a thump-thump-thump niose at anything above 50 and speed related.

Took the wheel off and it had a huge bulge across the tread.

then she quietly drops into the conversation that she hit a huge pothole a few dats ago and forgot to mention that the niose started straight after.

having watched a few cars with duff shocks going down the road the wheel jumps up & down so fast its a blur at surprisingly low speeds, must put patches of wear as it lands id have thought.
