This was a new one for me. The rear offside tyre was quite badly scolopped on the inside edge, the nearside tyre much less. After doing a bit of searching on the net, all indications are suspension : bushes or shocks or maybe alignment.
Car has done 86k total mileage. I have never seen this effect on any of my previous cars, has anyone else had this issue with the Bravo?
MOT due next month so all the suspension will be checked out at a service beforehand, but I would still like to hear from anyone with similar experience so we can be prepared to investigate any underlying issue.

The rear wheels can't be altered. They're in a fixed position. Get down to a good tyre place that has a Hawkeye tracking system. They can check the alignment of all wheels. Normally free for checking. Any alterations will cost. Normally about £20 max
