Hi
Brought a repaired cat D Hyundai Getz turbo desiel with only 700 miles on the clock some 12.000 miles ago.
Just had to replace the front tyres because the outside edge of the tyre had worn. Centre and inside edge were still well within the legal limit.
As far as i'm aware the usual cause for excessive wear on the outside edge is tracking error. So had the tracking checked at the same time but was found to be spot on. Method of test was not lazer or 4 wheel checking just the old simple 2 wheel type. Asked why if the tracking was OK why the tyres had excessive wear on the outside and was told that it normal with some cars.
As a side note I do run the tyres overinflated to try to help with fuel economy
Any suggestions as to why the outside edge has worn at a much higher rate than the rest of the tyre.
