the symptoms would suggest that the tyre is either towing out or the camber angle is incorrect but are you sure that this tyre has not at some time been on the front and sustained the wear there?

I'm sure that tyre is not in front.. As, just about 6-8 weeks ago, both front tyre changed and I noticed that tyre(near side rear) has indication of wearing(just tiny) and now it's quite worn. What my mechanic done yesterday, swap it with off side(no sign of worn) to near side.
One more, do you think it will help if they'll do the tracking and laser alignment? As yesterday, done the both rear shock absorber and left and right front rear wishbone bush. Mechanic said he will do the tracking and alignment after about a week, just to get settled that new parts....

Hi,

This issue is all over the web, and I am just wondering is it isolated to the 2010 or older models? what year is yours, if you dont mind me asking?

I am a considering a nearly new, 2012 sport... but if Mazda havnt sorted this out I think I might reconsider as I expect to be doing 200 miles a week... and dont want to be spending more on tyres, than on fuel!

Cheers.
