New ori suspension mounts
Arm bushings all ok
Tie rod end ok
Rack end ok
Alignment and balancing done

But my passenger side tyre forever wear off super fast. Nobody seem to be able to find out the reason. Any ideas as to why?

Bro. veloc, the route you take got many roundabouts? Those days they mentioned because of roundabouts the left front tyres wear faster.
If not, not sure why too, because from the pictures your tyre wear is pretty even, meaning your alignment and camber are ok.
If you want them to be more even you will have to rotate the tyres. If you want to do only the front tyres, then for symmetric and asymmetric pattern tyres you just swap them around. If using directional then you have to un-mount them flip around mount back then only rotate/swap. This way will even out your tyre wear....:driver:

Try doing alignment at other tyre shop...

what vr2turbo saying are true...last time i 'layan' rounabout can see the thread near sidewall almost finished....

Parada Spec 2 weird tyre la...assymetric tyre....and looks like directional....but not...
left side remove water to 'inside', ok then...
right side move water to 'outside'....towards the bigger thread block...
I wonder how this tyre take left corner during raining...
maybe the 'longkang' is big enough for that....

Well, it does not have good wet handling reviews but in the dry is definitely good. Large straight grooves or large directional grooves are best for water channeling, Parada Spec 2 grooves ends in no mans land....hahhaha

About roundabout, I have heard some talking about this. Because of the turn, the passenger side tyre loads up. But i don't think it has such a big effect because we are mostly slow on roundabouts. And not all the time on roundabout here. I already rotated once. Don't want to rotate anymore because everytime i rotate, it wears off super fast its like wasting tyre. Signs of wear can be seen after 4-6 months My consideration now is to just try to use used or cheapo tyres for the front passenger side or maybe both fronts. It is just not worth using good tyres because even I rotate them, it's too short a lifespan.

Just curious what else could be the problem that I haven't fix.... I always do alignment inn one of the best shops here and also tried alignment in a few other shops just to make sure. So you reckon is roundabout???

Haha sharp eye... Yes rotating the Parada is a bit tricky due to the tread design. I haven't tried the wet grip limit because I do not throw my car into corners when it's raining :biggrin:. Just drive like normal and sometimes turn slightly fast. So far, still feel ok. No tyre screech or slide. But the dry grip is phenomenal! Seriously I tried throwing it into corners. Not a single screech. But I guess I won't use this tyre anymore. Treadwear of only 300 is very low for 195/50/15.

Just curious and pardon me if I say this.

Is your passenger heavier a lot lot than the driver and causes passenger side tyre wear faster?

That is a good point. But I seldom carry passengers. And even if I do, my gf and mum is a lot lighter than me.

Veloc, can you clean the tyre and retake the pic? It's a bit hard to really see the wear on the tyres. Is the rear passenger side the same or is the rear even wear on both sides? What suspension you using? Perhaps passenger side absorber stiffer than driver? I dunno. I'm simply suggesting things.

On a lighter side : Told you drive slower. Understeer so much until tyre botak! :biggrin:

Make sure the two front tyres are of same make and size. It can differ from the rears but fronts have to be the same, and the rears also have to be the same. This is because different make and size, you will have different traction levels and that can be dangerous...

Threadwear 300 actually quite high already unless you want those tough wearing China tyres with 400 right up to 600 figures.....hhahahha

Looks like bro Veloc just used the tyres in WRC events....

On the bright side, this is a good time (and excuse) to change to better tyres....

We dont have to travel fast to pus stress on the tire on a roundabout.
just imagine the force that the outer tyre have to take as the weight transfer to that side.not jist the weoght of the car but the momentum also.
your prada is not like my xm2 which is made to last long.

my late firend was using prada but his car got super even wear.its bevause hos route involve no roundabout and hard corner.

less wear he happy dy, scare he complaint no traction.......hhahahhahahahhaha:rofl:

nevermind, everyday can "drift" at the roadabout.....

Just a thought about the uneven tyre wear.
TS, do you drive on road that has different roughness of surface? Since your tayar are soft, the roughness of road surface might accelerate and develop the wear characteristic on the tyres.....
