My two front tyres (Toyos) are wearing excessively on the inner edges. Logic suggests that this means that the toe-out is excessive. Any other suggestions? I should add that I have already ordered a set of Michelins. |

You're probably right. I used Toyos for years and didn't have this problem. Oddly my 2cv is one of the nicest tracking cars I've ever owned as far as going on a straight line is concerned. |

As with the DS & GS, the pivot point of each wheel is on the centre-line of the tread surface area. Almost every other car has the pivot point inboard from the centre-line, so any slight difference in the surface-friction of the two tyres, (such as pressure) will cause the one with greater friction to turn outwards, whereas even if you have a blowout on an A-series, (or G or D), it will continue in a straight line. |

Oh that makes sense. I have always enjoyed that characteristic then. |
