How low is your suspension? Depending on drop, this is pretty much normal.

That is a bit much for the back. Do you rotate your wheels?

Certain tire models will increase inside wear as well. I had bad luck with potenzas and my car is stock sport.

Not normal for standard sport suspension. Def have your alignment checked.

Nope, don't rotate, directional tyre.

So unless I was to rotate them with the front they stay where they're put.

The cars currently in getting some work done....

..turns out there's a broken spring on the left rear, I'm sure this is a contributing factor tho not the only culprit.... I think I'll have to be paying a visit to Lomand Audi.
