Ditto that. Too much negative camber on that corner, or too much toe-out, or both.

Re: uneven tire wear

if it is camber, will camber kit help to solve the problem?

Re: uneven tire wear

yes, but first get wheel alignment to see if it needs a camber kit or not

how low is your car?

Re: uneven tire wear

i know that rear camber of my car can be adjusted. can front camber be adjusted too?

by the way, i am currently on the M68 17" staggered setup. would i have to go for more aggressive camber setting if 18" staggered setup is used?

Re: uneven tire wear

If there is no uneven tyre wear when should I change my X3 tyres?

Is it based on KM run or no of years?

Re: uneven tire wear

monitor your tyres everytime you inflate them (which should be every week).

rotate them every 10,000km.

change them about every 2 years or when they are worn (whichever comes earlier).

Thanks for the advice.

Everytime I send the Car for Service, they always say no need to rotate tyres.

Any places that I can go for a quick check and replacement?
