Excessive inside wear on tyres

Featured Replies

I seem to be getting excessive wear on my tyres, and as they are 235/40/19 all season's they aren't exactly cheap.

 

The first time we noticed it was in Sept 2023 when I had to replace the front Bridgestones even though the main body still had lots of thread left, see photo. Now I have just been hit with replacing the front and back 😡 with wires showing on some of them. When I  had the first issue the mechanic that did my servicing said it was a common problem with the Superb's and inside wear but now I'm thinking it is down to the state of the roads and the tracking constantly being knocked out.

What are everyone's thoughts? Tracking or inherent Superb issue, my current garage has already warned that trying to adjust the rear tracking might result in having to replace parts

Camber, castor, tracking, worn "king pin" swivel(s). Need a good agent with a proper Hunter rig and reputation or equivalent to comment much further meaningfully.

Do you have lots of speed 'cushions' in your area? The sort that are a pair of lumps in the road rather than a strip across the whole width. Just a thought.

 

Straddling them with a wheel either side would over time cause this sort of wear; it happened to a friend of mine  who lived in an area of south London with these sort of speed cushions on all the minor roads. He also ended up with some sort of suspension (bush) wear that might have exacerbated the problem.

The last two pairs of Dunlop Sportmaxx's on the rear of my car did the same. Since fitted Michelin CrossClimate 2's all round and most importantly got it 4 wheel tracked at the same time. There was some adjustment available to the rear alignment and the fitter managed to just squeeze it within the specified parameters and it's been fine ever since.
