So I made a note of the tyre sizes and found something I think is odd...
Both the nearside tyres are 255/35/18
Both the offside tyres are 225/40/18
Aren't both the rear tyres supposed to be wider rather than having both the wider tyres on one side?
Would this make any difference to tyre wear as I still find it slightly odd that the offside front tyre is so badly worn and the nearside one isn't?
I might be completely wrong but if it makes a difference to the tyre wear then obviously that's an issue as I've only had the car since the end of February and the tyres were all checked and 3 of the 4 were fitted brand new when I collected it....
Maybe, maybe not, but I thought I'd ask

How bizarre!
The 255/35/18's should both be on the rear axle.
The 225/40/18's should be on the front.
It would probably explain the tyre wear.
