Why are my front tyres wearing on the inside?

How often do front tyres need replacing?
How long a tyre lasts depends on how its driven and stored. Under normal driving conditions, you should get a minimum of 20,000 miles out of front tyres on a front-wheel-drive car. For rear tyres, it can be double that – around 40,000 miles. We recommend moving worn rear tyres to the front when the front ones wear out.
