Worn suspension arm bushes, maybe. Unless it has been (badly) modified?

The tracking you had done 2 years ago whether laser aligned or not will only be as good as the operator.

Two years ago is a long time. Look here www.alignmycar.co.uk and find your nearest place.

This or maybe lowering would cause this?
If it is lowerer with standard allingment...would it still cause this?

Some places only check the toe, if your camber is out it could be causing the problem.

My money is on toe. I can't see a regular slow speed turn causing even wear along the shoulder. If it was patchy from dry steering then maybe.

Excessive toe would wear out the inside half of the tyre, not just the shoulder. This is likely to be excessive camber.

Having said that, Honda famously were sued in a class action lawsuit in the US over the NSX, which would wear out tyres in 4000 miles in certain cases due to the to/camber settings. They had trader performance and stability over tyre life.

How many miles are you getting out of the tyres OP?

Excessive toe out caused the same symptoms on my Caterham - completely destroyed a pair of Bridgestone SO2s. Is it a bit twitchy to drive? Mine was much less prone to tramlining once the toe was corrected

On the front of a FWD V6 200bhp car? That's impressive!

Which is probably why I have no points on my licence. wink

Most of the mileage is straight dual carriageway. We have an Audi for cruising and the TVRs for fun, so the FTO is just a daily work car.
Even when I'm driving to work I like to make sure the car enjoys itself paperbag
