DCC and uneven tire wear

Post by wintercooled »

Since switching to driving in Comfort mode all the time (my house is surrounded by bumpy A roads) I've noticed that the uneven tire wear that I was seeing on the inside edge of the rears - a sawtooth effect) has disappeared.

I'm surprised and think that maybe it's due to something else as I can't imagine that Sport mode affects the camber, just the dampeners?

Any ideas why this might be? I'm also doing less motorway mileage - could that be why? The sawtooth was making the ride noisy and was quite pronounced.

Any ideas welcome!

PS - I know that comfort is not designed for fast driving but I find it better when driving quickly on bumpy roads, there seems to be less lateral 'shift' as you corner...

Are you using a different brand of tyre? Some tyres are less prone to it?
