Question

I've got an 01 wagon with 215/17's and recently noticed that the inside edge of drivers side and outside edge of passenger's (both front) are wearing unevenly, in fact pretty bald. Might explain my 90 degree slide on the M8 slip last week.

Car has only done 12,000 miles. Is this normal or is there a tracking/aligmnent problem? Or is it too many bends/roundabouts tot he right too fast?

Tyres Bridgestone Polenza. What's best replacement?

Help/advice much appreciated.

I had the same problem with my wrx 01.
I replaced my tyres with toyo and had geometry set,
It has stopped uneven tyre wear but i do swop them from corner to corner at about 5-6k.
