Rumble from the rear

[big al 83]

As above. I've noticed a rumble on my ep3. It seems to come from the rear.
Could it be wheel bearings?

No. It's your tyres.

Hows that then? Could it be the pressures?

The tread gets stepped mainly because of poor camber and/or toe set up.

Swap the fronts and rears round, hopefully the fronts will be fine and you'll notice the difference.

Cheers Loxy.

It's toe that causes the stepped/saw tooth wear from lateral scrub.

Camber makes it worse

As lox said, swap tyres around and it'll go away. I'll come back eventually though. Cheaper tyres suffer worse.
