What tyre pressures have you been running?

Are they Dunlop Sport Maxx?

I had the same issue with my dunlops, centre and outer was fine but the insides were worn away.  Had the alignment checked and it was perfect.  No issues with a different brand of tyre and if you search on here there are many stories of uneven / strange wear with the shytemax tyres.

Yep, I had exactly the same problems with the Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres that came on my car. I've since ran Vredestein Ultra Sessantas and Michelin PS3s with no issue whatsoever. I think it just that tyre, which I found poor anyway.
