Good question. Time to get the hammer out and manually adjust things

No, just chuck lots of money at adjustable front end bits.

It's really odd. I've never curbed the wheels tbh. Always too cautious, plus same goes for speedbumps. Only thing i can think is potholes, plus im guessing with the engine torque it doesn't help.

I've booked the car into Skoda for next week as i have some noisey tappets that needs sorting so will get them to check the tyre issue out. Fingers crossed it gets sorted

I had wear after a couple of thou which turned out to be one of the front bushes - dunno which one though.

Speed bumps, causing a car with correctly set up suspension to trash tyres, then the suspension returns to its original settings - I don't think so, sounds like lazy, or ill equiped tyre place to me. Speed bumps, if "abused" and potholes and kerbing will cause suspension to become misaligned by slightly damaging it or forcing movement where that is possible - but when checked a few weeks/months later the suspension will still be misaligned.

These bloody things... no way of getting over them without wearing the inside of tyres

Looking at your alignment sheet.

The rear camber and toe settings are out of spec, the front right camber is out of spec and if you are suffering inside edge wear the front toe should be cranked as far inward as the spec allows to see if that helps.

Honestly I'd find another alignment shop. Anyone who gives you a printout showing that much out doesn't deserve any business.

It isnt toe in or toe out as that scrubs the whole tire!

The wear looks pretty acceptable to me! Hardly terrible. 4 wheel alignment cant be done as the car has a fixed rear beam,

To me it could be an issue with bushes of some sort on that control arm, cupra console bushes can fail there not bombproof

Toe out chews the inside edges off the tyres, just like the picture shows. I had the same issue on two of my Nissans, more toe fixed it. Of course I had to find an alignment shop who wanted to help rather than just spew BS. That was the hard part.

Well if you look at the lads photo's its not terrible. And he has a print out of the alignment

And toe out destroys the whole tire not just the inside, i had a car that was in a smash and was never aligned aftef it had been repaired and it was running 5 degrees toe out and it burned the whole tire to bits in just under 1000 miles

Toe out is not the issue here

It has to be bushing, but right now that wear is more than acceptable! Just do some fast roundabouts to wear it on the outside lol

Yeah i agree it's not terrible however just a lot more noticeable. The other tyres i had on before were worn down to pretty much wire :/ looking on the outside however had loads of tread.

Cars booked in for next Tuesday so will see what the garage has to say as they can have a nice visual look

Yes 5 degrees will kill the entire tyre. But no-one would knowingly run 5 degrees toe-out, it must have been a real hassle to keep in a straight line!

In the range of 0-1 deg toe-out you'll chew the inside corners off. Going towards toe-in will fix that. How far you have to go will take some trial and error.

I have seen the alignment sheets, but being in the factory spec is only the starting point. If you have specific tyre wear issues then you need specific adjustments to fix it. I would first go to the max toe-in allowed on the factory spec and see how the tyres like that.

5 degrees out was lethal! I change a whole load of components, full suspension and bushes as i bought the car repaired, then i did 4 wheel alignment and what a difference

Is the vrs not set up with 1 degree toe out as stock?
