Default outter half of front tires warn more than inner half,.. what is causing this..
Note that the frnt tires were on the REAR of the car for the first 10k miles. THey were rotated front to rear at 10k mile service.

The rears (as on the car now) seem to be wearing pretty evenly. The fronts (as on the car now) have the outter half (from midpoint out) worn down noticeable more than the inner half.

Stock SP8000E's. 16k miles, no real abusive driving on them at all.

alignment would be my guess. also maybe bump up tire pressure a little bit.

Its the lack of negative camber. Unless they are feathered.

May be Common. I've Had 2 A4's, 1 A6 All Have Worn This Way. Audi Alignment Specs?

too much toe in on most likely stock suspension (i.e. neutral camber)
