Default weird tyre wear

Hi
I have had a new set of REO70's fitted about 6 weeks ago, I have noticed that the out side of both fronts are wearing a lot faster then rears. Do you think I need to get the tracking looked at or maybe a 4 wheel aliment or do all newage sti's wear the same as mine
Its a 2006 STI Spec D with standard suspension.....Cheers

I swap my re070's around front to rear every 6months (which is about 1.5k miles for me) as they do tend to wear the fronts faster than the rears.

Dependant on your mileage/driving style your allignment could need doing - Im going to get mine done when serviced next month.

Sounds to me you need a wheel allignment mate normal settings should wear even and the Prodrive settings ever so slightly on the inside. It sounds like your wheels are towed in and they need to be if i'm right bang on center

Get them check over all your suspension bushes, trackrod ends and balljoints as well; as sloppy bushes and balljoints causes bad geometry, which in turn scrubs your tyres.
