Lo all, quick question about tyre wear, had one changed other day coz had slow puncture, basically the tyre had worn down on the inside of tread had a look at the others and they have gone the same way, tyres are only 2yrs old so what would cause this, bloke in garage recons tracking is way out, anyone?

Get the tracking looked at but at the same time camber too, best to get it checked on a four wheel laser align system..most upto date fitting centres will have the new laser align systems now..

will do as suggested, one thing was gonna ask when the wolfies were fitted by previous owner would they have had spigots to sort out the camber or would they not be need?

Sorry to hijack, but I have a tyre issue also. Just replaced wishbone and top mounts. Wheels seem reasonably str8 although is pullin to left a bit. Pass tyre is really worn on outside. I know I need to ghet it tracked but what else could cause wear on outside of tyre?

if you replace anything suspension related get the tracking checked as soon as it's done mate
