just noticed that my front drivers side tyre is low on the very outside of the tyre. when you look at the car from the side the tyre looks a little bit squashed, but tyre pressure is good.

what could cause this? i'm thinking possible camber/tracking or maybe a bearing?

any help would be great.

cheers

probably tracking.

Are both sides worn like this or just the one?

just the drivers side and only on the very outside edge (about 1 - 1.5 inches)

ye i would say get tracking/alignment done as this is the most likely cause. is the car lowered? if not then is it rubbing on a full lock?

not lowered and not rubbing.

going to get tracking checked tomorrow, and get tyre swap swapped for spare wheel tyre.

Sounds to me like you've been going round roundabouts too quickly, the wrong way round! LOL.
