Un-even tyre wear on R56

[Iiceman]

Hi Guys
Anyone else experienced this..
My R56 is wearing the rear tyres UN-evenly, the inside of the tyres is "running" on canvas while the center and outside of the tyre still has thread..
According to a tyre fitment center this is very normal on the Mini's..
Wheel alignment is within the recommended parameters..
Any advice would be appreciated

Regards
Mark

Did you have your shocks tested? BTW those tyres are dangerous in the current state and should you have an accident and lodge an insurance claim your car will be deemed unroadworthy so they will not payout.

No i have not had the shocks tested, but i shall do so immediately , BTW the car has MP, do you know if shocks are covered by MP?
The tyres will be changed later today...

Rear wheels on my clubman has noticeable negative camber on the rear compared to the front.
Do you have stock suspension?

post up alignment sheet or numbers... this is not shocks

my guess is the toe is excessive and causing this

Yes the suspension is stock
i had a clubman prior to the hatch, and my clubman had no issues with tyre wear, hence the confusion...

Reason why I thought it was shocks was because he said "According to a tyre fitment center this is very normal on the Mini's..

" and I took it he had the alignment done. BTW shocks are covered by MP

My 530d was the same.

Was informed by many that it was due to the negative camber, standard on most BMW's. Was also told it may be the stabilizer links, which I had replaced. Put new tyres on and I haven't seen the wear since...

I have never had them so bad on mine. But the do run a bit -ve camber at the rear. Suggest swaping them front to back on your next set as the Minis run a squared set up.
