    When a front tyre wears more quickly than the other, does it mean I need the wheels balanced,
    If so does Malcs do it, and any idea how much i might be paying?

    Cheers for any help.

    Don't bother with expensive wheel balancing

    Simply lean towards the side thats less worn when driving along. Or balance the load by having fatty passengers spread evenly, or make them walk

    the near side one will wear faster anyway cos of roundabouts. But if it is excessive then ya tracking might be out - do you hammer it up kerbs etc?

    It was actually the tracking

    that was done on both cars not balancing.
