Had the car since 2016 and all of the front tyre changes have been as a result of shoulder wear. I have done around 170k in the car. The current set were wearing on the inner edge - upper or lower control were changed and the car tracked again - but the outer shoulders ended up wearing. How often do I check tyre pressures? - probably not often enough, but we have other cars and don't suffer with this problem on the other vehicles. The alignment specalists confirmed that both the front and rear tracking was within limits and didn't adjust ( this week). I will upload the report. I will keep a close eye on the tyres and see what now happens. Maybe the tyres need to run a couple of psi higher that stated?

Thanks. Replaced the fronts yesterday - had the tracking and suspension checked and they were fine. The only thing left is the tyre pressures. I will monitor closely over the next few weeks. Regards

I am having ongoing issues with the front tyres on a A6 C6 Allroad. It is 2008 with 230k on the clock -2.7 diesel. The tyres are Michelin crossclimates all round at 225 - 55 -17. The issue I am having is wear on either the inner or outer tyre edges. This has happened on all the front tyres ending their life prematurely. The last cycle has been to get the front suspension checked and the upper arms and nsf bearing replaced. The car was then tracked - but looking at the tyres, I suspect the toe in is incorrect as there is distinct wear on the outer edges. Any thoughts? Are Audi A6's very sensitive to tracking issues? Are the settings for an Allroad different? Are Michelin Cross Climates prone to this sort of wear? Do these cars need dealer set up for the wheel alignment? Any suggestions appreciated. Regards SJH
