positive camber

[kernow zed]

Garage commented recently that both front tyres are worn on the outside edges so I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem ? I'm a bit worried it might be something expensive like new bushings or suspension arms

When was the last alignment done? Should be every year max, more often if the roads you drive on aren't of the greatest quality.

 

If the alignment brought the wheels back in spec, I wouldn't think anymore of it.

More likely a toe in issue instead of a positive camber one.

 

Any mods to suspension.

 

if not, check for wear on bushings and ball joints and get a decent 4 wheel alignment done.

Thanks for the advice chaps. I shall have it looked over soon.

+ 1 to what zedmanalex said. probably toeing in i'd've thought.

Let us know the outcome buddy as tyres aren't cheap and so frustrating when a tyre doesn't get a proper wearing.

Will do and I hope it is just a case of wheel alignment

Same happened on my last set of Bridgestones. I had the tracking checked by two garages and both said it was ok. To be fair I didn't check tyre pressures every week so could have has some kind of wear due to that.

When I got my current new set of new Bridgestones I measured the the tread depth when I got home and noticed the tread depth varied across the tyre width. The outside depth was 6mm the centre 8mm and the inside depth 7mm.

I rang Bridgestone to clarify and they confirmed these depths to be correct.

May have something to do with your problem?

I don't think so as both tyres are the same make and put on at the same time last year and the off side tyre has considerably more wear than the other. The outermost inch of tyre is only affected so I am tending to think it is toe in rather than positive camber. I believe camber wear would be more gradual perhaps being observable over a greater portion of the tyre.
