Anyone else have uneven wear on their LV Focus?

[Yellow_Festiva]

Time to replace the tyres on my Focus. I'm not actually buying new ones, but have a set in the garage that was purchased from another forum member.

My tyres have been chewed up big time on the inside edges and I'm wondering if that is normal for this car, ie the geometry has been set up as such.

The other cars I have owned all wear exactly even across the face of the tread, however on the Focus there seems to be a variance of at least 2-3mm across the thread. Not much in the scheme of things, but it means I need to toss tyres before they are due as the insides are unroathworthy while the centre and outer tread groove still have a few mm of rubber above the wear indicator.

Pedders did an inspection and told me there was no factory adjustment to fix this, and that I would need a kit to the tune of $1700 to get even wear - they also told me the car would drive stright and use less fuel (even though my car already drives straight and uses below factory figures anyway).

I will not be getting the kit... to be honest all this problem means is that I get 10% less life out of a set of rubber, and I would need to keep the car for 1000 years to profit from the kit. Not going to happen!

I will be putting on the new wheels / tyres and getting an alignment done straight away. Will also be keeping a closer eye to the inside of each tyre to see if it starts to get chewed out faster.

Just curious if anyone else has had the same pattern of wear as I have described above?
