Hi,
The right tyre on the wheel of my chair seems to be wearing much faster than the left. (I run on greentyre solid tyres) Does anyone know why this might be or what I can do to change this?
Many thanks

Unless one of your ass cheeks is heavier than the other I ain't got a clue.

Make more lefts.
Seriously, maybe you lean more to one side than another, putting more weight on one side?
But, try rotating your tyres so often to keep them ballanced.

As Q said you may be leaning more to one side, I lean more to the right because of Scoli & my right tyre & castor wear quicker then the life side.

Might be the toe-in on the right. Measure, or have someone measure, the distance from the center of one tire to the center of the other. Once in the front and once in the back, then compare the measurements,,, they should be the same. If not, you have an alignment problem, which could cause uneven wear over time,,, just like on a car.
Good luck.
