probably a combo of insufficient rotation and over zealous rear camber, VT upwards models were well known for it.

Old man driver, mainly open road driving, pressures good last alignment I asked to them to do whatever they could to help me. I have spoken to others and Tyre guys they say typical issue. is it! if yes I am sorry i bought it!
what pressures do you run! is it on 235/45/17s! and band of tyres have you been useing!
il seen more few holden with the same issue. dont alot can been done with buying camber kits/ camber adjusting bushes
falcons have the same issue

Have 55000kms on my VZ ute with the camber adjusting rear bushes. Tyres have just passed another WOF so may be well worth the look

if your done 175kms in your holden and only replace 5 sets of tyres, i think you doing pretty good with wear. but your pressures are way to low, should be at least 38psi all around. also maybe look at getting tyre what is more harder compound then the toyo

Sh!t, i would love to get 20,000km out of my 20"s, at $500 each. Oh well my back up set is 19"s.

dam i get 100,000 out of the 4x4 glad i dont own a commie. vr4 may have hit it on the head if using high performance tires they will wear faster. get a good quality touring or commuter type

you havent told us how they are wearing. Are they wearining evenly, the edges or the centre.
zena1,

pressure 38psi, tyres wear on outer edge then rapidly across tread towards centre. What are better wearing tyres! can I mix with the new rear Toyos to front and buy a couple of harder wearing tryes on rear willing to sacrifice handling> I dont drive hard and mostly long haul I think I should get much more Kms.I will fit camber bushes if that dont work I will by a Toyota or Ford.

The bit of info missing from this thread is, what would 'normal' wear on this car be!
