Castellating Tyre Wear

Hi Guys,

I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler MT's, not a patch on my old Trakedge, but what can ya do... One of the tyres is wearing with alternate shoulders getting worn down. Castellated, like an old Castle wall. Has anyone seen this before? I know the Freelanders suffered from this, but apparently it was due to the Limited Slip Diff. Anyone seen this on a series before?

Failing that does anyone have a recommended 80:20 Mud terrain tyre for Scottish Peat and clay?

Hippoos dont have a LSD - its a crappy VCU which siezes, giving the castellated tyre wear. I know this dont help yu - but it mite help someone else reading yo post.

I have to ask myself is it totally wrong to want your signature?

good intit?

yep!

been told castellating is dodgy bearings on the drive train

If only on one side then cant be props so you need to look from the diff out....half shafts/wheel bearings.

Dunno about peat but I run colway MTs for heavy clay, polite on the blacktop and pretty good in the sticky stuff....cheap as chips (ish) too.

Hope this helps

My series 1 is suffering the same prob on the front left. Have given the wheels a good rocking and the bearings are as slack as... Will dig out the hub spanner and give both fronts a damn good tweaking.
I hope this resolves the prob but the wear pattern makes it look like something is braking/slowing the tyre all the time???
