Kia Rio 2006 tyre wear outside edge only on the drivers side

[soundboy]

Hi I have a Kia Rio (diesel 1500) 56 model, I've just noticed that one of
the tyres is wearing on the outside edge, if this hard been on both front
tyres I'd have suspected the tracking. Just wondering if anybody has any
ideas what the cause could be?

Alignment. Likely you've hit a curb or pothole with that wheel and now it's
got a bit too much toe-in.

All of our cars get the same problem every 20,000 to 30,000 km with the
passenger side front wheel because of all the high-speed left hand turns we
do when turning onto our laneway (gravel) coming from town.

cheers - it needs servicing soon - the tyres had it now - will get them to
replace it and realign - wish I had checked it more often now..

Where you at that you can buy a Diesel Kia (and spell tire the way you
do:) ? I'd love to have something like that, but here Mercedes and VW
are about the only passenger car Diesels you can buy. While I'm at it,
I've been thinking about a new Rio. We have the Cash for Clunker program
where you can get up to a $4500 voucher for trading a gas guzzler in on
a new fuel efficient car. I've got a junk 84 Delta 88 that should easily
qualify. Any opinions on the Rio, and what they might sell for in the
US? All I am looking for is auto trans, a/c and possibly cd. Thanks
Larry BTW, I'm in S. Texas so good a/c is the most important
thing on a car to me. To me. if the a/c is no good, the car is no good.
Kia a/c good? If the program is still on(it has been extremely
successful and is about out of money) and I can get one at a price I
like, I will try to rent one for a weekend and try it out. Thanks again!
