Seat Ibiza Trye Wear. - Ash
My cousin owns a 2001X Seat Ibiza Cupra. The near-side rear tyre is wearing severely on the inside, so badly that the tyre is flat-spotting, and scrubbing at an alarming rate. The tyre is also splitting around its Circumference on the inside edge. The off-side is unaffected and is wearing normally.

The dealer says they'll do what they can to help cure it, but have no idea what the cause is. They've checked the suspension geometry and have found no faults. The shock absobers seem serviceable and have no visible leaks. The wheel bearing was suspected to be the cause, but was eliminated by the dealer. The wheels are new, and are correctly balanced.

Has anyone experienced this on an Ibiza or any other Seat ?

Any help will be gratefully recieved,

Ash.

No idea what the cause is, but there is a very active and useful forum at

www.seatcupra.net

If the problem is unique to this car, it is likely that someone there will know about it.
