The left side is worse than right. The rest of the tyres are ok, just the outer edge that's like this.

This must be a tracking issue, if the wear is so uneven. At least swop them over until you get around to replacing them. They're a bit conspicuous as they are.

If I'm doing a lot of twisty journeys, roundabout, junctions, can this cause this. I had the tracking done last year.

Presuming the front, if you’re “pushing” it in the corners then this is the result. Fun but gets expensive (ask me how I know...):rolleyes:

Yes, that's me. I knew I was getting close to needing new ones, but was trying to hold out. I can get Uniroyal RS3's for £157 fitted so not too bad.

My tyres wear similar and my tracking is ok. It's cos of the way we go round roundabouts, the nearside gets loaded more.

Potenzas are prone to this too, just to add to your grief, but as you said the RS3’s are going on...

Mercedes always wear the outside of their front tyres, put the car on full lock and look at the angle of the wheel / tyre

Thanks. That is cheap, would have to factor in delivery and getting someone to fit them, last time I used the manager of a local KwikFit and I was charged £30 for two.

Inc Delivery is £113.80

Would you not need 94's rather than 91's for the V6 Coupe

That is really cheap JB!
if I can find a someone to fit them for £30 then it's really good, some places near me want £20 per corner. For that I could use BlackCircles and get booked in, plus the tyres are delivered to the garage.

All the tyres I have looked at have only been up to a load rating of 91. All my other receipts from the previous owner had 91.

It is a saloon, they never did a V6 CDi Coupe, 91 is the correct load rating for it, you could use a 94 but it will make the ride firmer

Specs are

Front: 225/45R17 91Y
Rear: 245/40R17 91Y

Looks like I cannot benefit from Camskill, the cheapest I can get them fitted is for £40, for £3 more I can use BlackCircles and get a receipt and I don't have to get them delivered here.
