    Front tires worn in inside edge - NG900 turbo ?

    OK, turbo drivers... do you find that your front tires wear
    more on the inside edges ?

    My car is in alignment and there are no susp. wear issues that
    I know of. Tires were rotated every 5K or so. Inflation was kept up
    where it belongs. I don't drive that hard, although it is fairly
    easy to spin the fronts on this car pulling into traffic with
    the wheel turned.

    I've found that my "front" tires wore on the inside edges in an
    odd way. Sort of a "scalloped" wear pattern. It's probably not
    noticeable to most folks, but the discerning tire eye would see it.
    I didn't notice it until I the last rotation...which was also
    the last for this set of tires.

    Is this typical for an NG900/9~3 turbo ? I plan to have the
    alignment checked and to go over the front end, but if it's
    typical then I'll feel better about not finding anything wrong.

    Don't think this is normal. Once had a problem like that on my 9000,
    but after proper dealer tracking it went away. The car became nicer
    to drive in the bargain. Tracking can be hit and miss, depending on
    equipment and skills of the operator.

    I think you do need to have someone else check your alignment - I
    recently had this very problem on one wheel of a 9000, and the problem
    turned out to be the toe-in was off.
