I bought a set of used snows for our CS, and two are clearly more worn that the other two. Which end of the car tends to wear tires faster? (We only have 5oo miles or so on it so far, so no basis to judge). I want to obviously balance out the wear a bit. Thanks!

 

the bottom?

seriously if you drive the pig hard (or even firmly) the tires fly off so quickly i accused the outdoor cats on more than one occasion of sanding the tires while i was asleep...

i think that the rear tires go a little faster than the fronts, but in the 5 sets i went through in my short stint of cayenne ownership, i couldn't tell you for sure..

 

Front.

I would have thought the front as well but after 8500 miles my rear tires were slightly more worn. Probably 50 % left

 

BS...you should check your car tire pressure on ALL WHEELS REGULARLY...

I would think the rears would wear faster becuase they get 60% of the power.

 

40k mile CS and it's the fronts for me. BTW I check fluids/air weekly.

 

ozr;
The car has tpms. They have not changed but about 1# since delievery 8500 miles ago

 

Depends on your driving style - predominance of hard turns/braking vs. hard acceleration. Seems like most eat the fronts quicker because of the weight and steering/braking wear, while some folks with turbos have more equal wear or slightly more on the rear. Given where I drive my CTT-PK, I tend to accelerate more than hammer into turns, so my street tires wear SLIGHTLY faster in the rear. On the track, it's a VERY different story.

 

Its the front. Tires traveling in a straight line have little lateral scrub, the fronts are all lateral scrub . My rears last about 40% longer than the fronts. Yes I don't rotate shuuuush.
