Hi all,
Firstly I am a long time Michelin man PS2 PSS PS4S and now PS5
I had Michelin PS5 on all corners of my Toyota Supra Mk5 and noticed that at 20k miles awful noise from the wheels (like a wheel bearing issue )... when taking it to a garage they showed me that all four tyres had worn unevenly on the inside edges .. the tyres were essentially "no longer round" ... it was noticed that all four tyres has worn differently on the wear indicator areas ( 3 dot blocks) ... FYI .. alignment was spot on and car never driven hard or tracked. 20K is good for a set of tyres but with 5mm left it did mean that i still had to change them prematurely.
I suspect its due to the uneven block lengths of the indicators.
I include pictures and alignment ... also note the Michelin Pilots Super Sport i had on previously were fine.
Thoughts ?
as you can see on the picture below the jagged inside edge .. this was on ALL FOUR tyres.
Below is a picture of my NEW tyres ... just to show that the blocks are different lengths
My Alignment was fine ( as was my balancing )
I suggest that rotating (Side-to-Side ) at half tyre life might help. I have heard others having this issue with PS5 tyres.
