Yes mate check the play while the car is jacked up just to confirm though

[Andy_K]

depends how then tyres have worn.

on one side more than the other? Inside edges? outside edges? middle of tread? both outside edges?

[tomoaks]

just on the outside edges, the outter edges are shiney basically

[saxo-parts]

have they been used on the front in the past, as usually when the beam is worn its the inner edges that wear quickest

[tomoaks]

think i may swap them all round and see if it makes a difference,

[saxostuart]

both outside edges? as in inner and outer of the one tyre

[tomoaks]

nope just on the outer.

Have you checked the tracking?

[tomoaks]

that would only cause the fronts as you cant "track" the rear due to the torsion bar

[saxo-parts]

yes but if the rear tyres have been run on the front at any time, they may be worn as you describe due to track being out
