Tyre wearing out on the edge

[alphabeatsco]

Is it a known problem with the rear tyres wearing out on the inner wall.

Was for my old Saab. Kinda depends on the camber & castor. Best to get your alignment done.

What model car?
Had an alignment recently?

[alphabeatsco]

It's mk6 gti
Front camber was fine,
The rear was not wearing out evenly.
should they have neutral camber on the rear?

[dylan8]

got a picture of the tyre, is it camber or toe wear?

[alphabeatsco]

sorry
what is the difference between camber and toe wear?

[dylan8]

toe wear will normally 'tear' or feather at the tyre tread.

factory alignment for the mk6 gti sets rear wheels at 1 degree 45 minutes camber or 1.75 degrees, with tolerance +- 30 minutes or 0.5 degree camber.

if you don't rotate (or too lazy do DIY) your wheels at least once every 10,000km of course you will get uneven wear on the 4 tyres.

depending on how many k's you have done, if less than 25,000km then your alignment must be out!

Looks more like toe wear to me. Might swap the tyres around.
