Default One tyre wearing on the outta edge

Hi,

I had new tyres put on on the front last year and then had all the tracking done, but i have noticed that one of the tyres is wearing on the outta edge yet the other side is fine,

What can cause this????The wheel weights as well i noticed are not on there, maybe they got blown off when using a pressure washer.

Any help would be great cheers. Will save me having to pay out on new tyres again if i can get to the cause of why its doing it now.

the steering probably needs re-aligning.
it doesnt take much of a knock to put it out (pot hole, bumping up kirbs).
the wheel might be balanced from the inside with stick on weights so they cant be seen from the front, also if it was a balancing problem you would have vibration issues.

Front NS by any chance?

Driving like a nutter around round-a-bouts is the main culprit and is fairly normal.

Probably your tracking needs adjusting.

If its through driving like a nutter round roundabouts, Its always a good idea to rotate your tyres every 6months to even the wear out.
