Just wondering who did the alignment check for you and what system did they use? |

If it's both tyres on the outside it's one of three things:

I always thought people were kidding when they said taking corners too fast would cause that kind of wear. I'm probably guilty of that and also have the wear! FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

If you want to see how to feather the outside edges of your tyres, copy this example.

Our later Fl2 (MY2014) doesnt seem to roll in corners as much as our previous ones . I dont know if its because they put some of the Evoque suspension (struts maybe ?) on it during the models last days or its due to the 19" wheels and lower profile tyres. Jules |

It's funny that you mention that, when I changed my last FL2 MY11 for my current MY14 XS I immediately thought that it felt different and slightly firmer somehow. I am on 17" wheels with identical tyres to previous FL2. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto 5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE |

Just beware that swapping 'wedged' front tyres to the rear will cause droning due to the difference in diameters across the tyre width which is probably why LR don't recommend rotating tyres. |

Sustained some damage to the front offside tyre wall recently, so went for two new ones on the back same as original, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season, 19". Had them done at National Tyre Services. Bit of a saga which I won't go into here, but the fitter put 36 psi in the front and 32 psi in the back. I pointed out that it should be 35 psi all round bit he said he goes by his book. Fully intended changing them, but strangely it doesn't seem to roll as much as previously. It feels much more precise. And the slight drone I had from the rear (diff?) has disappeared too. |
