Wearing on outside of tyres

[Curley]

It's wearing more on the front two tyres so i change the back to front/front to back.
It's only happening on the outside of the tyre i.e where the tread is but right on the edge.
It actually looks illegal but there is plenty of tread left everywhere else, my dad says it happens on cars with power stearing but it doesn't look normal to me.

Anyone else had this? if not, any advice?

I had my passenger front wheel on my 172 go bald on the outside edge, too much hammering around roundabouts. If its illegal in one place its illegal everywhere, get them replaced, can earn you 3 points these days.

Ive heard of that with power assisted steering cars as your dad mentioned. Might be worth going to get your tracking checked, its usually free to check and £20 if it needs adjusting.

If you running the correct tyre pressures and your tracking is fine it shouldn't be doing it.

Mine's doing this too, all the Megs Endurance Tyre Gel comes off

Yep.

I'd get your tracking looked at asap.

I have the same problem, only slightly more worn on the outside tho,
I thought it was me goin round corners too fast?

My 172 is dropped on coilovers, and i don't have any probs with uneven tyre wear.

Tyre pressures are regularly checked I had the wheels tracked when I bought them but I will definitely go and get them checked again, I'll post up Monday.

Do you think the 172 wheels could have anything to do with it?

It's the centre part of the tire that has to be "legal" anyways not the outside. Can't help you as to why it's wearing though.
