Hi, i'm fairly new here but i really need some help, i have included a picture of one of my front tyres, this is the wear that has been happening on both front tyres on the inside edges, please can anyone give me a clue as to what is causing this, this tyre has done less than 10k miles, the car is a completely stock W212 E200 Sport, the tyres are Continental Contisport 18" tyres that were factory fitted (i stayed with the same tyres)

i am grateful for any help (i have posted on another section of the forum i hope i've posted in the right sections)

thanks in advance

Is your car lowered? Did you get an alignment?

I have a similar issue, where my front tire has the uneven wear on the drivers side. It is a 2010 E350 4matic. I have had to change the tire 2 times in 4 months. The car was aligned with both tire change. I notice it drags a little to the right.
A mechanic said it was the struts but they feel just fine. I will get a 2nd and 3rd opinion on that tomorrow before I decide on what to do.

Like I told you on BenzWorld, it's either camber or toe. Either your springs have collapsed (but you say you have stock) or your tires are pointing to the 10 and 2 O'clock position while driving.


Just look at the tires! If the top of the tire is leaning inward several inches, it's the camber. If not, see if the tire is pointing outward. If so, it's the toe.

your car simply needs an alignment ... most likely a toe out issue
