    It is this new fangled "independent suspension" that causes it (probably the camber change with body roll), along with the extra wear from front wheel drive.

    Take a look at anything with a beam axle and the tyres wear dead flat (unless the tracking is miles out).
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    I run a fleet of four Mercedes sprinters used for home deliveries for a well known supermarket all my vans do this. Luckily we are on a Tyre contract so they just get replaced when too worn

    The company that I work for has a policy of 2mm across the whole of the tyre. I do not think my tyres comply with this.
    I am happy to let it go, because its legal, I believe.
