I noticed that my rear tires are wearing unevenly side-to-side, rather than the usual symmetrical inside wear on both rear tires.

The rear left is pretty normal: inside wear and about of tread 1mm before hitting the wear indicator bars

The rear right is worn down to the bars across the whole tire.

Only street use and recommended Porsche alignment for a '99 C2. I had them aligned when installed and both are at the same tire pressure. So I'm wondering if there is something (worn/broken drop links) that might causing them to wear like this before I stick new ones on.

If it were my car I would have it realigned by a competent shop. They will be able to show you if it has moved out of tolerance, one good pothole or other road hazard could be responsible. At the same time have them look for wear or loose parts.

Actually that is pretty normal. A limited slip differential will even the torque to both wheels/tires. Either clutch type or torque biasing differential.

Hi,

could this simply be down to use? In the uk on my normal route to work I have lots of roundabouts which for me always cause heavier tire wear on the left hand side tyres.

Just a thought???
