Evening all,
I have the 17" s-lites with pirelli rubber all round. I have noticed that the outside edges of the front tyres are wearing particularly quickly, my instant reaction was that the camber/alignment was out. When I took the car in to my local garage they said that this is a particularly common problem on cars with a tight steering look (apparently mercs are bad). Seeing as I do a fair bit of city driving and parking (lots of full lock) this seemed a pretty reasonable explanation. The guy in the garage suggested the usual trick of swapping front to back, or left to right (if not directional tyres).
Has anyone else experienced this with their mini, if so I would be very interested to hear your remedies?
Cheers folks!
