Just noted that the OSF tyre is showing excessive wear on the inside inch of the tread around the full circumference of the tyre. NSF tyre is fine as are the rear. Any ideas please? TIA Patrick

It could be the wheel alignment. It could also be "radial belt slip", which is a manufacturer flaw. Examination by a good tyre depot should confirm.

I would have thought that Toe-in/tracking would have affected both front tyres...No? To be more precise about the wear it almost seems to be distributed evenly between the sidewall and the tread.

The front camber is adjustable on Omega - two bolts where the strut joins the hub. You need a garage that has camber checking equipment to set your car up correctly.
