The wear on my tyres was concentrated on the inside edges of my tyres, to the point where the fronts were slicks on the inside and had 2mm of tread on the outside

Rears were 2mm inside and 4mm outside.

I have had my tracking done which was apparently a little out.

Is this normal wear on an S?

I have this

its the set up isn't it-slightly off camber

I don't think I have as much as a 2mm gap though

Yes this is normal.

Apparently it's a good idea to keep an eye on your tyres and get them swapped to the other side about half way through their life.

This pic gives you a good idea of the angle that the S2k runs it's tyres at.

Wow - that looks a great road Neil

Somewhere in the Yorkshire dales, probably couldn't find it again even if I tried

Looks like the road from Settle-Arncliffe. Plenty of cattle grids, sheep and hikers to negotiate

Bassoctopus

That rings a bell

Thanks guys. I'll keep an eye out and get them swapped half way through next time

Both sets of rears on mine have worn perfectly flat across the tyre. The fronts, however, have worn more on the insides and on the trailing edge of every tread segment. When that happens the handling goes to pot. Switched the front tyres from side to side (keeping rolling direction the same) and every thing is back to normal.

I find that tyre pressures are critical. Run it for too long even 0.05-bar down and the irregular tyre wear is more excessive. One thing I learnt long ago, was: Never trust the garage's gauge, nor get the garage/tyre people to put air in. Last time I did that, I asked for 2.6-bar - so that I could deflate when the tyres were cold - and got values bewtween 3.4 and 1.7-bar.

asatge, are you sure your rear geometry is correct? I reckon if it's set properly, you will certainly get more wear on the inside edges. Certainly, this is the case in my experience.
