Whilst taking the front passenger side wheel off this weekend to drain my power steering system, i noticed that the tyre is really worn on the inside edge, yet barely touched on the outside. The driver's side is wearing evenly across the tread. These tyres were bought as a pair so they've both had the same mileage. I had my tracking checked a few weeks ago too and that was reported to be more or less spot-on - certainly within tolerance anyway.

So what else could be causing this? I dont want to fork out for a new tyre only for it to wear again the same way prematurely.

I guess that this will be something with the suspension like the bottom wish bone. (unless the car has had a whack at sometime :(

Might be worth getting the people that set the tracking to re check as they didn't do the job right if they didnt find it

Good Luck
