Cheers for the replies guys, 32 just seems to be too soft for some reason. All 4 look to be wearing on the outsides and they are only a couple of months old???

What tyres you got?? I found the Goodyear F1's wore on the outside really quick
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

That's the way 18" tyres wear I am afraid. If you over inflat them then middles will go so you can't win really..

Only got the cheap ones that came with the wheels, so am not too bothered about them wearing as I expected them to do so, I just thought would take a little longer as they have only been on for 2/3 months.
