Both my MGB and Austin-Healey (BJ7) are showing the same tire wear pattern.
On the left fron tire the outer edge of the tread is almost smooth. This
wear pattern decreases gradually over distance of about 2" as you go toward
the center of the tire. The right fronts on both cars are fine. The tires
on the MG are about 9 years old and have more than 45k miles on them. The
tires on the Healey are at least seven years old and have about 32k miles.
Obviously I need to replace the offending tires (the MG should probably get
a complete set, given the age of the rubber). My concern here, however, is
do I have an alignment problem here or is this wear pattern normal for the
age and mileage on the tires? The only adjustment on these cars is for toe
in
which I would expect to cause a problem on both front tires.
Thanks,
