98 s70 Front tire wear S70

posted by  someone claiming to be t6 on  Thu Jun 16 06:19 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have 98 s 70 that wears outsides of front tires down in no time . What is the cause of this? It gets expensive having to replace tires all the time. the rear tires wear fine . Is this normal for a S 70? any ideas is greatly apreciated.

Thanks t6 texan

Under inflation can cause wear on the outside edges as well as improper alignment.
