Has anybody had trouble with the 4 wheek alignment on this car? Mine has ripped through a set of rear tyres in 14000 miles. Terrible uneven wear from the outside edge inwards. Only the last inner tread channel leagal. No excessive weight, no tow bar, no scratches or damage to alloy wheels and only one service at supplying dealer from new. Following an alignment check camber and tracking seriously out on the rears plus incorrect camber on O/S/F. Warranty will not pay for adjustments so £300 for tyre and £140 for adjustment down to my pocket. I was in the trade previously for 20 yrs, including Mercedes Benz main dealer and I have never seen this before. I have never had this sort of wear on any car I have owned in 40 years |

I've had a look on a Peugeot forum, and one 508 owner has reported unusual tyre wear - around 17k and they needed replacing. Another said he's on his third set at 58,000 miles. |

Are both tyres worn badly in same way? IIRC it's quite common for the n/s to wear faster and with proportionally more outer edge wear. This pattern is though to be associated with areas with large numbers of roundabouts - eg Milton Keynes - and due to the centrifugal force/weight shift when using them. Seventeen thou though is pretty dramatic. I was a bit miffed when my Berlingo needed new ones at 30k. And I tow with it too. |
