I've had the outer edge of the NSF wear faster than the rest of the tyre. I had the geometry checked and found nothing out of spec. The fitter put it down to roundabouts.

Thanks for reply. Glad it's not just me who has the same problem. The tyres have only done 11500 miles. I don't think they will get past the due soon MOT. I will check the Nexan website for info. 12Bore |

I assume you're not running 19" wheels as they would need to be higher pressures IIRC. |

Could this be a Haldex problem ? I ask because my very first FL1 wore its front tyres terribly until a IRD unit fault was found and the whole unit replaced under warranty. I know a FL1 is alot different to the FL2 but it made me think. Jules |

I am running 18" wheels on my FOR. I'll avoid thinking it might be a Haldex issue, sounds a bit expensive. 12Bore |

What is the full tyre spec, ie; full size and load rating? |

The load rating is less than recommended, shouldn't be a problem as such,but may be contributing to the issue you have?

Just did a quick check on my tyres and the load rating on the front is 102 and the rear is 103. There is a 25kg difference between them. These tyres were fitted as a full set by the local main dealer. 12Bore |
