Tracking issue combined with uneven inflation, perhaps?

I've noticed my front o/s tyre has worn much more than the other side.... Roundabouts maybe??

In my experience roundabouts tend to wear the front near side tyre more (in Countries where we drive on the correct side of the road that is). A partcular problem round my neck of the woods in Stevenage, as with any new town, it's roundabout city  MAD COW

You should not swap tyres between sides. Front to back is ok. Puma 110" SW

My RR classic used to wear the outside of the NSF and inside of the OSF tyres - never had a problem with the old Michelin M+S tyres (which were rock solid and used to last for 40,000 miles + on the back) but the horrible Pirelli Scorpions were dreadful.
I was talking to someone who ran Defender 90s towing large trailers, and although the tyres lasted them for ages, they had the same issue - we agreed it might be a combination of UK road camber and roundabouts... 1953 80 1965 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce Sprint 1980 Fiat 124 Spider 2008 110xs |

I've still got the Grabbers on....Can't wear the bloody things out, 30,000 miles aint even touched them
 and SWMBO won't let me get any others until they've gone. That'll be about 6 years then |

All tyres you should move the fronts forward and the rears across and back.
BFG recommend that 
Evens up wear increases longevity etc Mike |
