Why Are the Front Tires of My Suzuki Khyber Wearing Out Faster Than the Rear Ones?

I’ve noticed that the front tires on my Khyber wear out much quicker than the rear ones. Is this due to the car being front-wheel drive, o r could it be an alignment o r suspension issue? What do other Khyber owners typically experience in terms of tire life?

Yes, front tires in a front-wheel-drive car like the Suzuki Khyber naturally wear out faster due to:

Common Reasons:
Weight Distribution: The engine is mounted at the front, putting more load on the front tires.

Steering and Braking Load: Front tires handle most of the braking force and all of the steering effort.

Driving Style: Frequent sharp turns, aggressive braking, o r driving on poorly maintained roads can accelerate wear.

Fix:
Tire Rotation: Rotate tires every 8,000–10,000 km to even out wear between front and rear.

Wheel Alignment: Ensure your alignment is checked regularly, especially after hitting potholes o r curbs.

Maintain Proper Tire Pressure according to Khyber specs typically 30–32 PSI.
