BMW 3 Series - BMW 320d front outer edge tyre wear? - ben100

The front outer edge of the tyres on my BMW 320d are wearing. All other tyres are in good condition. The front are also in good condition it's only the outer edge of them that has worn. I've heard that this might be caused by wheel alignment. BMW use KDS but can this be sorted using Hunter?

Hunter is top notch kit , so can’t see why not . It’s not so much the equipment, it’s more to do with the person using it that knows what he’s doing.

Would getting just the front alignment done be ok or do I need to do an alignment for them all?

4 wheel geometry check is probably a good idea on this car.
