Got a slow puncture lately and its also time to renew so i ordered some new ones.

Found out that the inside, right to the edge of the affected tyre have had deep wear. Area was about 10mm wide.

Been running the car at 24psi on that tyre for a few weeks.

The question is, do u think this is the normal cause of the wear? or maybe alignment is abit out?

The reason i am asking is that i have ordered a new set of tyres and also booked in for alignment. I want to put them on a week be the alignment. If I find the aligment is defo out then i will fit them one day b4 alignment.

any help and advise is appreciated.

Probably normal wear, if the tyre is deflated by that amount. get the new set of tyres on and keep a eye on the wheel which had low pressure, for a few days.

When was the last time the alignment was checked?

If you don't know if or if its still factory - then get it checked.

Inside wear is normal, but it should be roughly equal on both wheels on the same axle. If one tyre is more worn than the other (assuming both on teh same axle and are of equal age and mileage), then something is off.

A few weeks with 24psi shouldn't cause any significantly noticable wear.
