Front Tyres Inner wear
I have just replaced my two front tyres because the inner edges of both are well worn out and will be down to the casing before long. The middle and outsides are about 4mm in depth and pretty far from worn out.
Im told that this is a common issue on the S2000 but im wondering if its worth adjusting the camber etc to try and even this wear out rather than wasting another set of tyres.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The inside should wear faster as the car runs negatove camber, but it sounds like something is seriously out of whack for that level of wear to occur.
I run a "quite high" 1 degree of camber on the fronts and the wear is nothing like that bad.
Get it checked would be the best advice.

I think its been off for some time as the wear used to be fairly even on the fronts, but with a little more on the insides.
The car hasnt felt 'planted' on the motorway for some time and is more liable to wander (not tramline as such) that in ever used to be.
Probably down to the epic pot holes at the end of my road I think...

If you want even tyre wear you need to corner harder

Sure, knock off some camber.
Remember the legal limit of 1.6mm only applies to the middle 3/4 circumference of the tyres width.
So until its on the cords then its legally speaking probably okay.
You may have an excess of toe in, this will enhance the camber wear effect massively.
Any monkey can check that, try for steer ahead, zero toe or a little toe out up front.

i took the tyres off and flipped them then swapped sides to get more out of them £7 a wheel to take off and back on at most tyre places and will easily get £7 of value out of each tyre
