Just had 2 new tyres on my 07 Passat Sport Tdi 170 , the fronts have worn the inside shoulders and the centre section away, the outside and inner centre section is still good, tracking checks are ok. Could this be a result of incorrect camber settings, has anyone else had the same problem?.

Excess negative camber, and high tyre pressures could cause this. Also, those 170's light the front tyre's up pretty easily, and at high temperature's, may wear in the centre of the tread due to a scientific phenomenon that i know absolutely nothing about, but is common on the rear of high powered vehicles.
