Default Uneven Tireware in rear

I just bought my 03 Disco HSE about a month ago. Loving it so far, other than a ton of repairs and the gas mileage, HOLY CRAP THAT THING SUCKS gas. Anyway, I've found that my rear tires are worn nearly bald on the inside. The outsides look almost new. I just had it in for the 35K service and just had new breaks put on it. The dealer saw nothing wrong with the suspension or alignment. They've agreed to replace the tires for free, but I'm afaid I'm going to eat up my new set. Is this a common LR issue? I've got the OE size Toyo's on it.

Thanks,
Brian

check your tyre pressure. and I mean do this yourself that way you'll know. as for the gas all I can suggest is a cold air intake or something of that nature. I just fitted mine with one and it does seem to help (maybe 2-3-4 mpgs) it gives that wimpy v8 a lil more kick too.

That's cool. I'll make sure everything is at the proper level with the new tires. Cold air intake eh? I'm not a car guy by any stretch of the imagination. Which one did you get? Price? Etc...

To help gas mileage you can get Michelin XC LT4 tires they
carry them at Sears.
They roll better.
