Is the right hand side of that picture the inside of the wheel? If so then you are running too much neg. Great for the track, but it will wear the inner edge of the tyres out quick. Have you used the Ktec camber bolts to add neg? If so then dial some out and you'll get more life from the tyres.

i'd say the way the tyre is peeling up towards the middle the tracking should sort it... :)

As lee says it may be the toe thats the issue as well as the camber as they are feathering as well by the looks of it, defo needs a full track and camber set-up.

That looks like either tracking or the toe.

Does it pull to one side? If it doesnt, then its more than likely toeing out i think!

Either uneven toe or uneven camber could make it pull. Weve had a problem at work with the A3's doing the inner edge of the tyre, as in nearly new on the outer and metal cords showing on the inner/splits etc and when we get them on the laser machine they all check out within spec. The common denominator in the faulty cars.... dunlop sp sport 9090's any other tyre and theye fine. Audi say its the tyres and dunlop say its incorrect pressures so that goes to show how in depth it can go!
