Been Noticeing Tire Wear On The Rear

[ac92pathfinder]

a few months ago i rotated my tires and i been noticeing the rear drivers side tire been evenly wearing out. could this because of my lsd kicking in cause where i park on the street i do a left u turn on there to jump on the highway. is this normal? i just notice every turn i do i hear the lsd kick it. i had a 92 before and never did this.

I guess it could be possible - my advice would be to slow down around the U-Turn - I'm not 100% certain how, mechanically, LSD's work, but I'd reckon it has to do with tire rotation compared between wheels. It probably kicks in when the rotation of one wheel compared to another exceeds a certain threshold...

 

Then again, I could be completely wrong That's how I'd want it to work, so as not to interfere with normal steering

i have all 3 tires the and 1 s diffrent but same size all the way around. i have 3 of which i like these has like a fatter look

and one of this which is the one thats wearing . with the diffrent tire does effect the driving at all. thanks

If you really have to have one different tire I would put the mismatched pair on the front and keep the matching pair on the rear because it is hard on the rear diff. Not every 31 is exactly the same size.

Could be that the BFG tire is a softer compound than the other tires you have.

probably put the bfg on the passenger front. i compared them there the same size and weith

BFG's do wear different... and since it's the odd tire out AND the one that's wearing... logic says

 

Swap it around and see what happens
