I have 22" wheels and my tyres are hardly worn at all at 12000 miles, certainly no uneven tread wear patterns. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Just make sure your pressures are correct in the first place. After that, get the dealer to confirm your geometry is correct.

Off track a bit , I bought a car many years ago that was sold to me as needing a problem sorting wth the clutch. It wasn't the clutch that was causing the judder , it was all four tyres were at 22 psi not 2.2 bar.

Which tyres have you got? I remember people used to complain about Continental tyres on L320 wearing at edges/feathering. It was classed as another "characteristic". Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

My L320 TDV8 has feathered the front tyres since I bought it 5 years ago. Done it on 20in and 19in tyres. I think there's an inherent issue with the air suspension. The air suspension system allows a large tolerance in ride height on any given wheel. Ride height changes affect camber (although not toe it seems from experiments on the ramp) and changes in camber will affect tyre wear. We set the car to tight tolerance for the alignment and then normal tolerance for usual use.

May I ask what type of four wheel alignment you have had?

I was thinking that that different suspension heights must be having a impact on the tyre wear, but ours stay at one height during all on road driving.
