Asymmetrical Tire Wear

in General Discussion
The tires on my 180C, which are two years old, are showing more wear on the inner edges than the outer edges. Clearly, the oleos have an outward cant, and the tires also seem to have some outward cant as well. However, when I look at the diagram in the POH (below), it appears the tires should be vertical. Thus, asymmetrical wear would seem to indicate some sort of suspension issue or misalignment. Thoughts/insights?

    Mike: I hope you'll keep us posted on whether this makes a difference in the tire wear pattern. I discussed this with my mechanic again last Friday, and he didn't recommend any remedial action.
