on the 110.
it's suddenly (ish) taken to edging the insides of the front tyres.
checked the tracking (OK) and checked the wheel bearings (very slight play, tightened...) and steering swivels (no play)
any other thoughts?
I've blown 'em up a bit more, to see if that makes a difference.
Welsh roads and air pressure being incorrect are two things that spring to mind.

well, yeah, but it never used to do this. and it was more the inside edge than the outside. I'll wait and see what an extra psi or 4 does.
What tyres and what pressures?
Sounds like the tracking - you say it's ok but is it really? Maybe the gauge is faulty or maybe it needs slightly different to what is reccomended.

Have a read of this...

Nankang Wild Conks, 31/10.5R15, was running at about 29-30, now upped to about 34. It'll save fuel, if nothing else.
Previously, ran Pirelli Scorpion AT, at about 32-33, but they wore a bit fast in the middle, implying that they were slightly over-pressure.

Gauge is a high-tech stick. (seriously... it's an official tracking gauge, but functionally, it's a stick) And the tracking is as near parallel as I can get it, which worked fine on the previous set of tyres.
Will keep an eye on 'em. I'd deliberately not blown 'em up as hard as the previous set, which showed signs of slight over-inflation - may be that I over-compensated. under-inflation will, of course, wear tyres on the edges.
The wear caused would have to be a fairly serious tracking error, bearing in mind that the tyres have only done about 2500 miles.
Is your tyre pressure gauge accurate?
They can be a bit unreliable, over time.

this one was the posh one at the garage... Mine isn't very accurate, but I've an idea what the error is.
