Default 2wd buggy rear tyres too wide?

I got couple of worn tyres that is schumacher yellow minipin with hard insert. they are all worn in middle of tyre. with lot of thread in on outside edges of tyre. To me that is bit wasteful. tyres should be worn evenly across the width of tyre.

i am thinking tyre are bit too wide, maybe i should be using schumacher front minipin yellow tyres for rear if i trim the rear rim to correct size.

then it will be even wear across the tyre.

What you think about tyres are too wide?

I've never noticed a problem TBH.
What wheels are you using?

More likely the inserts are too hard than tyres too wide, or you do a lot of wheel spinning, they have to have a round profile so they grip as the car rolls into the corner. Or you'd end up balancing on one corner of the tread........ and sliding off the track.

FWIW, the only tyres i've completely knackered in the middle without doing much damage to the outer edges were ones i destroyed on a carpark (tarmac). The tyres i've driven (rather than trashing) tend to wear out *fairly* uniformly. And get binned before they are bald anywhere!

Try a softer insert next time. Or a harder tyre, or both.
