Uneven tyre wear

Gnomes who have escaped from Azeroth filing down the tyre during the wee hours.
If it's on the inner edge, suspect worn hub bearings. On many cars the wheel rocking test cannot reveal the problem, due to the disc being held in place by the caliper/pads.
Without knowing whether this uneven wear is on front or rear tyres, inside or outside of tyre, nearside or offside tyre (or both), it is impossible to say..............

The rear tyres on the Focus always wear slightly unevenly; it's a characteristic of the suspension.

The same thing is happening on my MK3 Mondeo. One tyre dealer offered to adjust the rear tracking for me.
