| LR3 Tyres - Strange Wear Patterns |
|
Hi, I am new to the site and am hoping somebody can offer some advise 
I have been running my D3 for 2 years and have experienced a few problems but most have been sorted with ease by my dealer.
The car has done 30k and I have had to change the front tyres twice at huge cost 
The problem is they seem to wear on the insides, LR agreed to pay 50% of the cost of the first set that had driven 15k which I thought was quite good of them!! The thing is I have only done 9000miles on the new set and yet again they have worn on the insides, this time however LR are refusing to pay anything toward the cost of replacement..
I am extremely frustrated with this and at £176 + VAT per tyre  a little concerned that I should not get good wear out of future tyres!!! I would be gratful for any advise that anybody could offer as to the reason for this occuring as my dealer seems a little clueless

Thanks for your help  , I have looked at the post and it would appear that this is a huge problem
I have just spoken to my dealer who has advised me that they checked all geometry and everything was within the tolerance levels  and they had no evidence of why this was happening 
Looke like I could be in for a long drawn out battle

I had my geometry adjusted yesterday (I'm yet to collect the car). My tyres had gone on the outside edge by 12000 miles. They haven't made any mention of a warranty claim for tyre wear though.
If a second set of tyres have gone, there's something wrong with the geometry. It might be worth trying another dealer. Disco 5 HSE Lux
