The car doesn't seem to have a heap of bump steer, and since the top arms are non-adjustable, trying to give it neutral camber is near impossible.
Has anyone else dealt with front tyre wear issue? Or is it the case that "well it is always there"?
Thats just the way it is Dec... Sometimes your tyres will wear like that, sometimes they wont. But, most of the time they will. I can look at half a dozen worn sets here in my front room and they're all worn on the inside.
You just learn to live with it. There isn't a thing you can do to change it, its part of running a Mini. We don't worry about it.
