My van has some 'odd' looking front tyre wear. It has cheap (not my doing!) tyres on the front. It had a 4-wheel alignment done not so long ago and both front tyres exhibit the same wear so I do nothing think it is an alignment issue.

The wear exhibits itself as outside edge wear, not excessive but you can 'see' the scrubbing on the outside edge.

My question is therefore is this just the cheap tyres or do the vitos/vianos all 'just do that'.

Input from owners appreciated

I see good wear on mine. The worst uneven wear was on Khumos, didn't last long and when getting low on tread the wear became uneven.

Sorry just checked, the Khumos were on the earlier C calss. Same though when tyres start to get low I've seen the uneven wear seems to be more likely.

The present Michelin Agilis have over 25k on them and still well in excess of 5mm tread.
