Have recently posted (on Broken Tyres) about the 2 x front tyres worn down to cords after 20,144 miles (3 years) so failing it's first MOT - also the tread was still between 5 - 5.5mm.

Had a 4 wheel alignment check done today by a firs class tyre dealer who's operator reckoned the set up was "spot on" and really could not be improved upon
- i.e. it should not be wearing tyres out! He put all the "kit" on the car but did not make any adjustments.

Wondered if anyone one here can access the appropriate alignment data so I can check the actual specs please? Or direct me to where I could obtain it.

'68 plate S213 E400d AMG Line 4Matic Estate can supply VIN if needed (it is on a private number plate now).
It is on Michelin run flats, fronts are 245/35 R20 ZP Acoustics.

Any info really would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure I follow, how were the cords showing but still so much tread left?
Tyre wear is very dependant on driving style and whether motorway or urban driving. It's not solely geometry. Though obviously that has to be within spec.
Any tyre shop with a Hunter system would be able to pull up the factory specs
 
whitenemsis,

Wearing was on the inside shoulder - I'd describe it as where the tread joins the wall - approx where the dark band is on this pic but on the inside edge

I had a similar issue on my 2008 CLS .
It was checked on a 4 wheel geo and was found to need adjusting at the back.
Hope this helps :-)
 
I had the same on the c63 but that is the way they are set up but had the opposite on the wife's cla 200 sb due to under inflation
