can putting low profile tyres on a no lowered car cause them to wear out quicker? ive got 45 profile on my escort cabriolet but they seem to b wearing out quicte quick?

 

What make are the tyres.

I have 45 profil on my escort rs. Doing alright at the mo

 

there toyo proxes t1 r's and they dont seem to b lasting that long like wearing away at the egdes quite quick

 

T1-R's do wear quick at the sides, i have put just over 40 psi in the front of mine to try and save the edges!

 

oh rite wont b buying these again then lol, will that help then puttin more pressure in the tyres?

 

Yeah i would have thought so, T1-R's imo are the best tires on the market!

 

yea but dont want them wearing away at the edges quick do i

 

The edge wear is well known, this was a problem on the S version, the R was supposed to cure this but it's made it worse.
Putting 40 psi in may save a little edge wear but lose you masses of grip esp in the wet.
The profile will not cause accelerated wear, but obviously lower profiles are usually destined for more powerful cars, so will most likely be a softer tyre anyway.
I got 16,000 from the T1S on the astra, then when the T1R's were put on this dropped to 6,000, that's the last time I used toyo, NOTHING was changed on the astra.
Try some Hancook V12 Ventus Evo, awsome tyre, running these on the sapphy.

Stop going around round abouts at 60mph then!

 

dont think ill b buying these again then
