    Did 12k miles with Uniroyal Rainsport II on my GSi auto when I had it and sold it with even tyre wear across all tyres. Mind you, I did have the geometry checked twice in this time.

    Front or rear?

    I will accept wear on the outside edge of front tyres, as they near the end of their life

    Mine did this during the first set of tyres on the rear
    Had the front wheel alignment adjusted
    The next set wore identical and they were sent to Goodyear for investigation
    Response advised this was common wear on the rear of a Vectra C

    So had a full four wheel alignment carried out
    Noted the rear camber was completely incorrect
    Never had a problem since
