Question

I recently had the front tyres changes after noticing that the indside of the passenger side was almost bald but insted of the drivers inside being bald as well the outside was balding but to the extent of the passenger side.
When the new ones were fitted I asked them to check the tracking and they saud it was spot on. I'm getting it checked somewhere else this weekend but is there something else that needs looking at?
Cheers

My first set on my MY01 had both front insides bald after 8,000mls on Bridgestones, dealer checked tracking no problems. Blamed aggressive cornering especially on roundabouts? My next set i have had no problems, I do rotate my tyres every 3000mls though.

Cheers

Never checked tyre pressure sothat could have been a problem. I'm getting it checked out again but TSL is a bit of a trek from Portsmouth. Anyone know of anywhere closer?

I doubt tyre pressures alone are the cause of your problems, but it's worth some consideration.
