depends on your tracking as well, tyre pressures, how many people are in the car, the number of corners you take left compared to right

Vibrio, please provide me with a breakdown analysis of my tyre wear:

Tracking - out 2mm
Tyre pressures - 27psi front, 29 psi rear
People in car - 1
Corners left - 4532
Corners right - 3422
Roundabouts left - 1232
Roundabouts right - 2322
Roundabouts straight on (bit o' left, bit o' right, bit o' correction left) - 892

I eagerly await your findings.

I suspect probably the right tyre at the front will wear first. however not knowing if your tracking is toe in or to out out I cannot enter that into the calculation
