We have an 08 GT model (we''re in canada) and have put 12,000 km''s on it since early April - about 7500 miles give or take, and our tires are great, I see no real wear worth mentioning...

Had a chance to check the tyres at the weekend.

Now 5750 miles on clock (not doing many miles at the moment as wife is on maternity):

NSF inside edge:See Pic below

I am not happy with this - as you can see there is no tread left in a 1cm wide band.

The outside edge isnt much better and neither is the OSF.

I want to get this reported - do you think 1st stop should be the dealer or a letter to Mazda UK ???

The tyre wear looks like that on a pre 2008 model, sure you didn''t get one of the last tyre munchers?
Mine has done 8500 miles with loads of tread left, all over, in fact they still look like new....
Go to the dealer in the first instance see what they have to say.

Slovenia....

Mine 2006 Mazda 5 GTA 143 had totaly same problem - inside the tyre a thin worn line appeared.

But Mazda Slovenia recognized an error - error comes from faulty optics, front tires were positioned in letter V - factory fault.

so all you have to do is go to service, make tyre optics, spend 20-40 € and you can be sure...

Of course if your tyres were dead, thats different, I am still waiting answer from Mazda, I left tyres there and made a complaint.

Booked in at dealer for a "check" on Friday.

Hi

Took it to the dealers who said it was normal to expect "feathering across the edges" and tread depth was ok across the tyre! I said the 1st cm of the NSF inside edge was bald!!!.

Its now booked in with them for a tracking/alignment check in 2 weeks.

None of the independant places nearby would check the tracking as they say its too new a model for them to have the data - it has to go to the dealer.

Hopefully it is just the tracking.

Can you post you picture a big bigger please if poss ?? Thanks
