done the rear brakes today and noticed driver side tyre worn down on the inside but not the outside any ideas why one side of a tyre would ware out leaving the other half perfectly ok.:confused:thanks
 
Especially the rare 2.4l Discos are well known for funny things happening to the rear axle!:D

I`d agree with goonarmy, that tire has not always been on your rear axle.

Worth taking a good look how the other 3 are worn.

Heres a thought.

considering that you have had the vehicle for a year and not noticed any uneven wear rates on the other three wheels, it may be possable that you have a bent pickup point or hub carrier, hence the funny wear rates.

I bent something on mine clipping a curb driving with enthusiasm in the snow. It's left a serious amount of posative camber on my N/S/R. With the vehicle parked on a level surface, and with all tyre pressures ok, take a look at how it sits from the rear.
 
Any chance you've had a wheel swapped without you knowing it?

Otherwise, to damage the tread that much, you'd need the wheel on that side to be dragging behind the n/s wheel by a fair bit, and that's about the only thing that would cause it, so check the axle locating (radius arms) links first

It is a 2.5 diesel? 2.4's are a bit rare as has been said :)

Also worth checking the Anti-roll bar link hasn't 'flipped' on one side .. but that lowers one side so much it's very noticeable that something's wrong.
 
when looking at landy from the back on a level surface,drivers side looks to be lower down than the other side.about three inches measuring from top of tyre to top inside wheel arch but i thought that it could be dodgy spring or shock wich ive been meaning to change.maybe its a bigger problem than i first thought.
