Are these Bridgestone Deuler?    So they should be cheap if they are. i have seen them worn on the edges on nearly new Ateca 4drive & Suzuki Vitara,

IMO the spawn of the Devil.

 

The originals was Deuler. The replacements are Turanzas.

I have just replaced my original Bridgestone tyres at 22k miles. Worn evenly across the surface and even front to back. They were worn to 2mm. I have run them at 38psi from new if that helps, YMMV.

 

I think 38 psi equates to roughly 2.6 bar.

I had superb L&K 4x4 wheel alignment checked at local VW dealer. Hunter alignment kit.  No mention of any re-calibration of any "driver assist" electronics.  Very confident of mechanics competency - came to reception to find me because the tyre wear wasn't consistent with the pre-adjustment alignment readings and suspected " tyres swapped round" ! Other than a front suspension height change adjusting the front suspension does not require any re-calibration. The steering angle input to the "systems" is from the "steering wheel" therefore if the steering wheel hasn't been removed and re-fitted in a new position and is still "straight ahead" after alignment the steering angle is unchanged - years ago it was very common for garages to adjust the tracking on one track rod end only and throw the steering wheel alignment out .
