Well, I for one, unlike some, am willing to admit I'm wrong. Yes, it's 38 so I will have to get my compressor going tomorrow. I have been running round at 35 for 9 year's. It's stopped raining by the way:D:D:D

Won't do any harm at 35 unless you carry half a ton of flags in the boot all the time. :);)
 
The rear middle of the rear tyres has worn down to the wear bars, I read on hear some were that 28 front 30 rear woz good if not carrying owt heavy in the back, only carry my two dogs in the back most of the time and don't tow anything.:D

If the outsides of the tyre wears it's under inflated if the middle section wears it's over inflated. Many use 28 front 34 rear if boot is not loaded. I use 32 front 36 rear but i run 19" wheels.
 
I run 28 front & 32 rear (unloaded) for me gives the best ride & tyres still good after 20k miles! Lucky if i got 12k out of the tyres on the Touareg.

Must admit Land rovers 38 psi under all load conditions for the rear is a bit of a mystery to me. Specially when you consider under normal load the fronts at 28 psi have much more weight on them.
 
might up the rear to 32 then when swap them round and see how they wear, the rear woz 40 when I got it last week hence the middles worn, the avons are new on the front so hope the one that's scrubbing on the edge will be ok on the back, always keep my eye on my tyres anyway.

Normally if the track is out tyres either wear from inside to out, or outside to in depending if you have to much toe in or to much toe out. This will show as a feathered edge across the treads. Both tyres will wear with the same pattern because any track discrepancy is evened out as the steering self centres and will load each tyre evenly. Wear on both outside shoulders indicates under inflation. Wear in the centre of the tread indicates over inflation. Wear on one shoulder of the tyre indicates camber is incorrect. Inside shoulder wear to much negative camber. Outside shoulder wear to much positive camber. :);)
 
The bloke whos doing the tracking said the back looks ok, just been to much in the tyres.:rolleyes:

Just trying to get over to you that wear on the inside or outside shoulder of one tyre on an axle is not usually a tracking problem. :);)

Well would say on a car its the tracking, but the RR is new to me so I don't know, Don't now anything much about them yet,and thinking about it, The bloke whos doing it didn't say it woz the tracking, he just had a good look at the tyres and said he can do it next week, will be 45 quid, so I just sort of thought its the tracking, but like I said the RR is a new thing to me, so I know nothing.:D

because the rear of a p38 is heavier than the front;) as I found out when I lifted one on a forklift, good job I was breaking it.

Well that's a new one on me, :D

Doesn't matter what it is car, van, truck, bus the symptoms are the same for them all. But carry on you obviously know more than i do. ;)

I would tend not to agree with that statement. Across the range the rear end is on average 232 pounds lighter than the front end.

+1 im with wammers on this, on a steering axle if your toe-in toe-out is out of alignment one/either wheel is always trying to find/fight for the straight ahead position whilst driving resulting in premature failure of both tyres.
