Don't see a thread on this anywhere so why not.
Post a pic of your tyre, any info like manufacturer/model and profile would do no harm either.

Oddly this is probably the only view I dont have a very good picture of. Infact this is probably the only one that shows the tread:

265/35ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

Oddly enough not suffering from any of the dodgy wear problems on some of the cars in this thread but then it's properly laser alligned and has the geometry properly setup every time I have tyres fitted, so you wouldnt expect it to wear down to the cord on only one side ;)
 
Is this your first set? How many miles have you done on them? How much tread is left (about)?

You may well have guessed i am considering these for my next tyre change ;)

No, not the first set - original rears lasted 15k, but I used to a lot of dual carriageway driving (Whereas now I've done about 2-3k tops since August!).

I fitted the ones in the picture in early August and there is still stacks of tread left - a good 6-7mm.

The only time I've ever had dodgy wear on the Eagle F1's was with the Mondeo and suprise suprise, it turned out to be becuase it wasn't alligned properly. I can't see even the crappest Wan Li tyres wearing prematurely on one side on a car with perfect allignment unless one side of the tyre is a different shape to the other!
