Caliper sticking or uneven tire wear gets my vote, thats what caused mine.

^^^^ same as. After a spirited drive, hovering a hand over each wheel suggested one was considerably hotter than the others. Turned out to be the sticking culprit

Any ideas as what the cause is? cheers guys.
There's obviously a big problem................you, in a straight line. Thought you only did sideways!

Do the tyres match on the rear (i.e. same production facility + date of manufacture) ?
