Excessive Tyre Wear Mazda 6
 
I am getting excessive tyre wear on my mazda 6, 06 plate 2 Litre engine.I scrubbed the first set of front tyres after 7k and it looks like I will get even less out of the replacements.I had the tracking checked at a top name tyre and exhaust center twice,but these places dont fill me with great confidence.Does anybody have the same problem with excessive wear?

Can anybody please advise on any good garages in the Central Scotland area that will check my wheel tracking with a bit of proffessionalism and the results they produce can be trusted

Ur tires are made from a softer rubber than your probably use to. The softer rubber on the tire improves traction but also wears faster. The uneven wear you have probably noticed (outside edge of tread) is from cornering and breaking at the same time. Try a little more shifting and a little less brake or try a different kind or tire.

I suggest you look at the other tyre wear threads. It is a known problem!
