That's funny, sending a message that you can't send a message. We got your explanation about being unable to reply, so I guess you can reply now.
I've had 3 goes at replying to this but I keep getting the error message...
Is there anyone with a crdi that's done reasonable km that does not have the tyre wear issues or is this turning out to be one of the possible inherent problems with the crdi like the headlight blowing issues.
My 2008 CRDi did about 70 000 km on the original Hankooks and the wear on them was fairly even. I replaced them with Pirelli P7 tyres and, with the odometer now reading just over 100 000 km, they seem to have been a good selection as they are wearing very well and very evenly.Russ

I got hit during the week but only sent the text once (it was in a PM) so I knew I had to adjust the content)
Thanks for that info Steve."Quoting" your post doesn't show anything different on the word select, though.

It is used regularly to get around swear filters.But when I "quoted" Steve, it didn''t (and doesn't) show up the way it does on other sites. And when I tried to bold in th emiddle of the word it didn't show up as there either.Anyway, as you say. Lucky to get away with it I guess. But I still don't know why the "bold" isn't showing up.This is what I expected to see.crap
That is real strange Trev when I quote steve then went in to add to the reply it was there as plain as day
My diesel did 68,000 kms on first set of Kumhos, no problem, but the second set started to wear prematurely on the front. The rears were still looking like new.Tyres were rotated, have now done 106,000 kms, still the front wearing the insides, rear ok.Tyre place suggested the weight of the diesel engine as front suspension became worn as likely cause but nothing proven.

Other cars' suspensions must also get worn but the past few I've had (albeit petrol) have not worn out the 2nd set of tyres differently to the first.
But Trev, what other explanation could there be?.. It seems to be the front of the diesel that we are getting feedback on (mainly) with this issue...I wouldn't call it a major problem yet but still a bit of a worry.
I might have to start a thread at some time inviting those few with the problem to post their experiences and we can do some brainstorming...
Can I ask if higher tyre pressures eg 38 psi could contribute to increased suspension wear and eventually lead to what we are discussing here.
here's a little trick to try when getting a wheel alignment done. if your getting a 4 wheel alignment ,make sure you have a full tank of fuel. if its done with an almost empty tank your going to have a massive amount of toe out when you fill up your tank next,hence the scrubbing out the inside edges of your rear tyres. whats your thoughts on this Trev?
I think you're partly right.Towing caravan is not done with the wintertyres, and the summertyres just mounted, has even wear all 4. (12.000 km since new)The way the rear suspension is designed I guess the negative camber will increase when putting load in the car.Maybe I should see if I could have the car adjusted with the load of 4 persons in it..
