my st170 is on its 2nd n/s/f tyre in 3000 miles its wearing evenly across the tread pattern but stupidly quickly, checked drop links etc all the usual stuff looks ok, alignment spot on, could this maybe be a slightly bent strut or something, the o/s tyre is in good nik after 9000 miles

Surely if you knew more than a diagnostics machine , you must have a good idea what causes excessive tyre wear being as advanced a mechanic as you claim to be

TBH, i would go down to the pub with ur dad, like you did when you were 14, get rat arsed, then pull some bird way older than you, claim your a hooker and get her 2 give you Ł45 ( or how ever much it was
) then shag her, that will take your mind off it

The n/s/f wheel is likely to wheel spin shaft more than the o/s/f. It has a shorter drive shaft, therefore gets more drive. Less acceleration in lower gears could work. Even if you have LSD gearbox, it can do it.

You got top camber plates Mozzy?
Could be worth it because you got Eibachs on the car have you not?
Was the tracking checked and set properly? Remember ST170 are tracked different from the rest....

He had a crash and had a space saver on that wheel so i'd say it needs setting. Best get the tape measure out mozzy.
In fact fuck that use your snap on beating lazer eye tracking you have
