Could be any number of things? Have you lowered the car? If you have, did you get the tracking and camber checked/re-set afterwards? Did someone before you prang it and not tell you? this might have thrown the tracking angles. Or it could be that you're just buying shite tyres!

does ur steering wheel vibrate at around 60mph then if so get the tracking sorted. also as coddy sez if it has been lowered the camber will probably need sorting - do the wheels look like they are toed inwards at the bottom??
My tyres have just done the same thing. they were down to the metal on the insides. Ive been told the camber needs looking at (expensive?) and the wheels need balencing and tracking :roll:
always something!!

just sounds like a camber issue.

a few methods

redrill the top mounts

buy eccentric top mounts

fit colf / vw crank bolts to the bottom of the strut

or make the tca adjustable (most difficult one)
