Tyre wear ?
Hi, the tyres on the rear of my Xantia are wearing on the inside edges . They have never been on the front of the car . What would cause the wear on the inside edge ? Cheers Terry

First thoughts would be wear of the rear radius arm bearings. Any clicking or creaking from the rear suspension?
If you stand a few yards behind the car, and look at the rear wheels, do they look /--\ ie. leaning inwards at the top. I've never seen this myself, but it's a question that crops up regularly in postings as an indication of failing bearings.
You should find a wealth of information on the Forum - try a few searches

I'd go for rear arm bearings as well. On my BX it was very obvious that they were on the way out, on my Xantias no so. The last time I changed a set there was no sign of the / \ effect and it was only a tyre wearing in a funny way like it does when you have a faulty shock absorber that alerted me to a problem. When I did take them off them off they were clearly shot.
