Question

Any idea what would cause this?
I'm running 215*40*17 S02's and the n/side front outer is virtually bald the rest of the tyre is fine, as are the other 3 infact

I'm thinking of just getting 2 new tyres, would it be a bad idea running F1's up front and leaving the S02's at the rear?

Just had exactly the same problem except mine are 16" SO2s.

Seems to have happened since I had Prodrive geometry put on last year...has worn down in little more than 10K miles

Like you I've decided to replace both fronts but I've found a guy who's managed to source 2 SO2s

I'm having them fitted later this week so if you like I'll ask if he can get hold of any more.

Exclamation

It is almost certainly set up to toe in excessively
