Uneven tyre wear

It will either be camber, or toe.

 

Go and rub your hand across the excessively worn area of the tyre, from one edge to the other (rather than around the circumference). Does it feel smooth or textured? If it's smooth then you're running too much negative camber, it it's rough then you're running too much toe-in.

That sounds like you're saying that his camber and toe can't both be out or tolerance - I don't think that's what you mean though, is it?

Ah no, you're right, it could be both - I didn't think of that possibility! :blink:

...But it's the same fix for either/both anyway - get the geo to a decent place and get it sorted. :)

 

By emphasising "either" I was trying to give an alternative view to marc_p's "I guarantee it's your camber..."
