The guy laser tracked it up for me and it appeared to be perfectly tracked without any slight adjustment needed.
The tyre fitted suggested maybe the shocked had gone slack, or I'd been driving like a loon and cornering like a mad man. I certainly haven't been driving like that, and after speaking to my mechanic, he says the results from sloppy suspension would be uneven were right across the tyre not just the inside.
I've only had the car about 6 months, and my thought is they previous owner was driving like a mad man, or he had it re-tracked before selling it. But I'd have thought in the 6 months I'd owned it, with it in track, and driven carefully, that the tyre wear should have evened back up somewhat.
I'll be keeping a close eye on my new tyres over the weeks, but I was just wondering if anyone else had had any similar problems, and if so what was the cause of it?
Cheers all in advance
