Hi,

We have a 18 month Mini Cooper with the most outrageous uneven tyre wear on the front driver side. Anybody else experienced anything like this?

Cheers

if you mean left to right across the tyre, that 'll be tracking or a wheel bearing, if you mean random bald spots, that'll be a shocker gone.

18 Months old, is it a BMW MINI?

I agree with the above, except if the tracking was out i'd expect BOTH front tyres to wear.

If its bald in the centre of the tyre, too much pressure, at the outsides, not enough.

And I agree with what everyone else said.

I think that covers it all!
