I would like to get as much life out of my Dirazzas as possible for the track. I noticed that the right rear is
down to the center (foot print) wear indicators and the left is +2/32 more rubber. Tire pressure was good for track days, 28psi gives me the right amount of shoulder roll over. Plenty left on the rest of the tires.
My question is does anyone know if the left 'drives' more or is just a matter of the road courses wear.
Have about 8k miles and 8 track days. I'm thinking of dismounting the tires and swapping sides to maximize wear before replacing the two rears. Also will I have a problem in grip between the fronts and the new rears do to heat cycling. Tread is good on fronts. Opinions welcome. Thanks.

 

Could your slightly different tire wear be from a track with mostly left turns? Your right tires are there for 'going further'.

How is your diff?

 

LSD + driving around town (sharp right hand turns at intersections) = more wear on one rear tire than the other? since i noticed you had 8k miles on your tires..

i notice with sharp right hand turns at intersections, from a stop, that my rear tires will sometimes chirp. going slowly, daily driving speeds.

edit: cant spell

 

there have been a few reports of rear right tire wearing faster, I've seen it on my car and three others. I thought that on average we take left turns at higher speeds than right turns and that might explain it. A mechanic at my Honda dealer said it is common on S2K's due to the LSD, not sure what he meant by that but that is what he told me.

 

It's not that the right-side tires are "going further", it's that they're seeing greater load from cornering more often.

FWIW, the additional distance that the outside tires go is equal to 2*pi*track width, or about 34 feet. Only three tenths of a percent additional distance around a 2 mile track.
