Default Tyre scrubbing??

Hi all,

Has any other MA/MB/MC owner experienced scrubbing of both front tyres on the inside corner of the tyres?

Went to get in the car today and discovered a flat tyre on the front. After removal it was clear that the tyre was sufferring from asymetrical wear across the tread with the greatest wear being on the inside. Checking the other front wheel was the same.

Clearly the car needs a wheel alignment, but with that kind of wear I'm wondering if the camber is wrongly set as well. Since it has had one alignment it is difficult to say if the odd wear pattern has been there from day 1.

New tyres in order I guess. 32, 000 on a set of Potenza RE050A Seems to me to be a bit on the low side as neither of us are press on drivers.

Cheers
