Once again I'm not impressed by uneven wear on Michelin tyres - although in fairness it could be my car, but I don't know how: these have definitely not been run over-inflated.
The left has uneven wear with the middle band through to the wear indicator on the inner side. Both tyres have around 3-4mm of tread either side of the middle band. The left front has worn more than the right. There's not much scuffing on the outer edges.
Alignment was recorded as follows:
Left camber -0°11'
Right camber -0°22'
(Both in spec)
Left toe 2.5mm (spec 0.7 - 1.1mm)
Right toe 0.9mm (spec 0.7 - 1.1mm)
Mileage: 26,000
The tyre shop said I'd done pretty well to get such even wear on an X5, and they thought the mileage was decent. Could the tyre be so sensitive to left toe?
Replacements are Latitude Sport 3 - based off superior labelling, especially for noise. They are definitely quiet!
