Very uneven rear tyre wear - help!

[unclemark123]

My rear tyres have both worn on the inner edges badly. I estimate 80% of the tyres surface has 2 mm left. The remaining 20% on the inner edges is now totally bald. Is this normal? Looking at the rear of the car there is clearly negative camber on each side. The ride height is standard.

Those tyres are total sh1te and most likely at fault. Toyos did the same on mine.. In fact they totally sh1t themselves on the front too...

Get a decent brand on and keep an eye on them...

Could be either bent rear arms or missing rear washers behind discs. When was the last time the rear discs/bearings were changed?
Best to get a four wheel alignment done and post a photo of the printout on here.

as dangerous dave has said those tyres aren't very good and are probably the problem. i'm going to take a geuss that they are avon zz3's, at the garage i used to work at i would always see zz3's wearing like that and alot of other cheap directional tyres.

100% they're Avon ZZ3s.

I had an EP3 with -2.5deg at the back, and ZZ3s - they looked just like that.

This happens a lot on directional tyres

The tyres are indeed Avon ZZ3's. What would be the tyre of choice?
I changed the rear discs/bearings & pads around 10/15k ago. What are the washers you refer to? However it came apart, it went back together. Is it easy to check?
Tyres are not cheap. I need to make sure this is fixed before I stick on a new set.
I am running Pirelli Pzero nero's on the front.

Swap your tyres front to back, see if it still does it.

Pirelli Pzero Nero's or Michelin pilot sport 3 extra load .

Fk me, I should have known, that and its sister tyre the cooper zeon are up there with the worst tyres ever made... Ling longs have a better rep

I have Cooper Zeons on my car (There when I bought it)
I wouldn't say they were anywhere near as bad as Linglongs, Wanli etc, but they are a hard compound so they are not brilliant either.

The Avon ZZ3's are a softer compound, and I have found them to grip ok, but when they do let go they do so very suddenly.

I doubt misissing washers behind the discs would cause it as they don't affect the camber.

Maybe the previous owner fitted camber shims? Could just be the design of the tyres that has caused the uneven wear but I would still get the alignment checked before fitting new ones.
