Default Steering

I have just had to replace my two front tyres due to the front right worn on the outside edges and the front left worn on the inside edges as well.

Now I thought this was down to tracking but after my new tyres where fitted the guy said it was exactly the same as when I last done it!!

If the tracking is ok what else would cause this, want to sort this soon as the front right is already showing little signs of wear!!!

Could it be that you just corner harder going round right handers. This would explain the wear your talking about. Maybe

I would have a full geometry check on the car, tyres should wear evenly on both sides, have caster and camber angles checked.
You can get wear on inside or outside edges but they should be the same on both sides.
Negative camber will wear the inside edges, some people have cars set-up this way for track use.

Thanks guys, the cars done 22,000 miles, have had a complete laser alignment done with tracking, camber etc and the guy said it was fine..

I do give the large but most of the time I am very kind to it so that rules out cornering, Steering Rack, track rods???
