Just rotated mine. Bit late by the looks of it.
< Rear. Drivers side. Front >
<Front pass side. Rear>
Drivers side worn considerably more for some reason. Probably due to my favorite left hand slip rd on the way home.... And NOT at all to do with all the Curry Pies and Pasties of the driver... Before somebody pipes up.
Outside edge is to the bottom of the screen on both pics. Drivers side front in the top pic shows outside edge wear on the most worn side.
Thing to note is the wear across the tread, rears are flat in the middle, fronts are rounded on the edges, as you can see the two profiles are far from a mirror image. These are now starting to tramline, or rather have been getting progressively worse for the last fortnight but have only now had a chance to swap the fronts to the rear. It now steers straight again.
Hoping these will last until the Autumn when I'll fit winter tyres on the old oe wheels. Although one is barely legal.
Oh, and Re Falkens, and ESP the 912. Having driven TB's clown car with the pictured tyres fitted you can imagine how badly that handled. It was poor to say the least. But that was nothing compared to the Falken 912 which had more tread more evenly spread across the width. They where half worn, less the legal limit.
I guess possibly the worst possible combination would be Elite suspension with Falkens and an impatient driver in a hurry. The Michelins above where bad to drive on, but Falkens where far worse with a lot more tread, and far mire even tread left.... IMO.
Firmer less wallowy suspension does limit the effects evident in TB's pics due to less suspension travel, and hence less camber deflection due to the Omegas suspension design.
TB needs irmscher springs and B4 shocks for his clown car.
We'll make a silver bullet out of it yet.
