Had my LCR in at VW today and they picked up that my front tyres were starting to wear on the inside. Im running FK452's at 33psi all round, what could be causing this?

ive always found front wheel drive cars wear the inside of the tyres out more - especially if you drive enthusiastically like i do!

i know i drive alot of the time with traction control off and comin out of roundabouts the inside wheel can spin up. and if you imagine what part of the tyre will be on the tarmac at that point it would be the inside. so it might not necessarily be the tracking.

i guess if it was the tracking it would wear out much more quickly. im just about to change my tyres on the front coz the inside is pretty much showing cloth comin through!

Got it sorted this morning. 4 wheel lazer alignment and found that the toe was out, only just. So job done and it only cost me 19.95. Kwik fit wanted 26, but i couldnt get it in there ramps
