Front tyres worn on outer edge

Post by Crusty » Sat Apr 21, 2007 5:28 pm

Tyres (PS2's) have done 20k so I've had my monies worth, but should they where on the outer edge of both fronts - or do I have a problem?

I would have thought they would wear as you describe. Fronts tend to full stop in my epxerience.

if done 20k surely if tracking out the wear would have shown up sooner could just be down to spirited driving, around corners.
