Yeah, the wear on the tyre is on the outer wall (rest of the tread is still really deep, new tyres etc). | |

usually if the joints r going the tyre wear is on the outside. go to a suspention centre. they'll tell ya whats wrong. and go to a couple of 'em. | |

ATS will check your tracking for free, so if its OK you dont have to pay. My ex's car was miles out and wore through 2 pirelli's in 4000 miles. Had it re-tracked and the guy said come back in a week, it'll probably need doing again as it was so far out. | |

just a little warning. When you have your tracking done you will not notice the effect for a few hundred miles, cause your tires have to wear | |

yep, get them redone soon or the tyre will wear to a taper and no matter how many times u get it fixed the tyres will pull it back to its ferked up position. | |

It just sounds like the tracking hasn't been done properly. Most national tyre places are cowboys and never do the job properly. All they do is basically tighten/loosen a nut on the track rod arms to sort out tracking problems on cars. | |

i thought that when the tyres wear away on the outside edge was something tho do with power steering. | |

Go somewhere else to get the tracking done. In my old Corsa I last had it done by Kwik Fit, I had to go back there about 5 times before an "experienced" bloke sorted it out for me! | |
