nearside front tyre balding on outer edge? any ideas?

Post by dridgy »

hi my nearside front tyre is balding on the outer edge, all my other tyres are ok, could this be the tracking or wouldnt the tracking make both front tyres wear unevenly, also there is a slight pull to the left.
any help please.
thanks

the usual checks are:

tyre pressures first, but I guess you've done that

then go for tracking, camber, allignment stuff

I think tracking is the culprit it's a cheap check (hi Q use lasers) ...but the tyres will have to be renewed or swapped with the rears
