Rear Tire Wear
 
My wife's 2023 Mini Cooper S rear tires are wearing on inside tread only. Second time, low miles.Dealership mechanics tell me the rear canter is intentionally off set by a few degrees to give it the 'mini ride experience'. and that the tires wear quicker because they are run flats, which is what the car came with. Can I have it changed not be offset and tires last longer? My wife doesn't need "exceptional cornering".



Thanks guys!

I have the same problem. Had it to shop for alinement. New tires are in side tread worn with only 1000 miles on them. I suspect worn parts with only 40,000 miles on them. The adjustment is to the end of range and still has a noticeable squat. /[]\
the first owner lived on a dirt road I guess it's caused some problems?
