tyre wear Audi A6 - Dave Andrews
i have a 1998 A6 1.8T and both the front tyres have worn on the edge. they are both new tyres - i replaced them thinking that the previous owner must have liked going round corners fast but after 1000 miles the problem is coming back.
would this be a suspension problem or tracking? anyone have any ideas?
ive got it booked in for a 4-wheel alignment tomorrow - but am unsure this would solve it. the guy in the garage didnt really no what was causing it

thanks

dave

tyre wear Audi A6 - Dave Andrews
took it to garage this morn and they said the tyre pressure of 32 psi (which audi reccomend) was too low - thev put it to 36psi as it was rubbing as i was going round corners?
tracking was checked and was fine

hope this has solved it. the garage didnt even charge me for this - i was well suprised!

plume garage - shirley in solihull west midlands - highly recommended
