Tyres destroyed on inside wall

[mauricedar]

Talking to a guy in body repair shop, recons that nothings wrong with tracking/ camber ECT. Its the width of the tyre and the ability of the power steering to use full lock easily thats scrubing the inside of the front tyres off so easly. It makes sence with my car [A4 avant tdi sport] as I make a 3 point turn at least twice a day.

hi, i had similar problem with rear tyres wearing on my last A4, and it was down to both rear coil springs being snapped at the bottom, just a thought.

Hit a pot hole (really hard) on the way home the other day, destroyed the tyre and wheel (nsf).
So rather than buy new tyres I bought some rs4 wheels with tyres off a chap at work.
I only mention this because my old wheels were 18" audi look-a-likes, the new ones are gen 17" audi wheels. I'm thinking it may have been the non standard wheels giving me the tyre problems ??? -maybe! Time will tell.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned speed humps.

Most people straddle them causing wear to inside edges of the tyres, you should alternate each side driving over the centre of the humps.

You'd have to be running speed bumps alot to get the kind of wear seen by the poster! They are bl00dy hazzard though.

Bloody pot holes! I was about to post to say I cracked a wheel in the middle of nowhere the other day. I have decided to get a fresh set of 19" RS4's (without tyres) to replace my old ones. The other 3 were scuffed anyway. On the plus side my tyres had worn 100% evenly after 5000 miles and have loads of tread left so it seems my uneven wear problem has been fixed......well, until i hit the pot hole and probably knocked my alignment out again
