I have a Mini One which I had booked in to the dealership to question the irregular wear on the outer edge of my front passenger tyre. I am aware of 3 other friends who have experienced exactly the same thing with their minis. I would like to know if this is a common problem?

I have spoken to 3 of my friends - either Mini One or Cooper owners - they all have this problem!!!

I had this problem wih my 2001 One. The inner and outer edges of both front tyres were wearing rapidly and there was also a vibration from the passenger side wheel. I paid £189 to have the car KDS aligned which showed one front wheel was out of line which the dealer said was down to kerbing although both wheels had been kerbed. The dealer service manager could not answer why one wheel was out and not the other.

BTW I noticed the problem after I had had the suspension upgrade (new shocks) to my 2001 build.
