Rear Tyre Wear? Mercedes Benz E320. - drbe
My near side rear tyre has gone from 3.5mm to zero in 7,000 miles. Any good suggestions anyone?

Car. MB E 320 CDI estate 2001 vintage 87,000 on the clock.

Tyres Pirelli P6000.

Tyres installed and full tracking - camber, toe-in, castor and all the rest of done properly at a well-known company in Micheldever Hants, no complaints there at all.

Mileage since last replacement 22,000. They normally last 30,000 I will try to get a full tracking check carried out, any ideas where I can get that done locally? (Esher, Walton, Cobham area of Surrey)

advance thanks!

Wear on the nearside could be ocurring because of going round roundabouts clockwise and turning right at higher speeds than left.
Mine always wear on the N/S first.

I guess it's not impossible that it was a dud tyre ? some flaw in the compound on manufacture? Have you asked Micheldever? Why not return to them with the question and get tracking etc. fully checked again?
