Tyre Wear - Durelli

Hi,

I have a Volvo V70 which as recently started to have excessive tyre wear on the outer shoulder of the rear tyres. It's like you get on front tyres after knocking the tracking out after kerbing it etc.

It's on both the rear tyres though.

The Tyres are Pirelli, they've done nearly 50k miles, but the wear as been all even until recently.

Any ideas on what's caused this? Anyone seen it before?

I have to buy tyres to replace them, any pointers on which tyre to replace them with.

regards

cheers
