i just got my car back from 7500 service,its an my02 wrx done 8000 miles.They commented that inside of front drivers side tyre is wearing unevenly.
they advised that it was not tracking or camber that was wrong, but needed specilist checking "dont go to ats or elsewhere" they warned, they won't know what to do.
Or it could be just a badly made bridgestone that has a high spot on it.HELP!

Anyone come across this before and any advice on what to do.
I live in south birmingham near Cadbury choc factory.so if anyone knows a good tyre fiting checking company i'd like a name pls.
Thanks

The long term evo test car did have a problem with alignment / geometry / camber if I remember correctly.

Do yourself a favour and take a trip to Powerstation in Cheltenham, where you can have your geometry set up properly.

Not that far from you and well worth the effort.
