Eagle Ventura..good tires.. :y

tire wear on one side..seems like a geometry problem.. :-/
Having driven Tunnie's car, I would have to disagree that those tyres are particularly good.  They severely lack any grip...
What tyres do you recommend TB? My annual mileage is roughly 10,000.
My preference for my MV6, which occasionally gets driven in a spirited manner, is Dunlop SP90x0 or Continental Sport Contact 2 (NOT 3!).  Because of the power and the way I occasionally 'have fun', I wouldn't put budget tyres on this car.

The tractor, which with considerably less power I thought I might get away with cheaper tyres, I never truely found a set I really liked in all conditions. The best I had on there was Nexen CP641 - great in dry, good in slight wet, good in snow, appalling in very, very heavy rain :o

Hi, had similar problem when I first bought my elite both front tyres were worn just like yours.
However the wear was to the inside edge, had the tracking sorted out as it was a bit out.
Then had two Continentals put on but these wore out in the same place in less than 12 months!!
Had the garage check the car out but they found nothing wrong.
So had 4 budget sunny’s put on and these are showing no side wear at all.
Had these on now about year with very little over all wear.
The only down side is they are some what noisy.  :-/

Not sure why more expensive tyres have worn out in this fashion.

Sounds like your camber is out. tracking will not find this problem
