Limey said:Excellent. Thank you very much.
Now I can find out why one tyre is wearing on the outer edge...
Dereck said:Hi Limey
I get the same trouble with my Town Car (in fact all my Town Cars), it's the left front that wears on the outside edge I have put it down to our road camber and roundabouts as I have had the frame and wheel alignment checked with laser alignment equipement.

Limey said:Guess what? It's the outside edge of my left hand front tyre too!
interesting theory, especially about roundabouts. Not sure why Lincolns would do it when UK cars don't though?
It might be worth going to the lower end of the toe-in range to compensate i.e. 0"-1/16th" rather than 1/4"
Think i'll turn the tyre around for now
