Front Tyre edge wear

[Mr Onion]

I am aware of that. I asked the tyre fitter about that and he declined saying it isn't their normal practice.

You are paying for a service, its up to him to provide that service.

... or go elsewhere. Simples

...The roads around me always seem to promote uneven wear, sometimes outer edge sometimes not. That's with the correct tyre pressures, unless it's my driving which is entirely possible 
I've always seemed to go through 2 sets of fronts for every 1 at the back and have never put the 2 new tyres on the back.

By my humble experience outer edge wear always meant, that I was cornering too hard   
(proper alignment presupposed!)

I read this thread yesterday as I was in kwik fit getting my two front tyres changed due to the outer edges wearing right down.

I asked Honda to do it but my dealer doesn’t do wheel alignment and said to go elsewhere. I lucky enough had a fitter who worked for Honda and he told me the original alignment supposedly done at the build stage was awful, they were told to just do a few tweeks then leave it.


That may answer the question as to why the front tyres wore as they did. The alignment was way out and is now sorted. May be an idea for anyone buying a new car to get an alignment done straight away, it may save you a few quid later on.
