Ok so I have 6” rims and 205/70 rubber. The Avon CR6ZZ kind so soft
I’m getting inside edge wear on the fronts. I’m told this is because the geo should be set up differently when running wider bits?
Is this right?
Thx

Check your toe in.

Run your hand across the face of the tread from inside to outside and in the opposite direction. If you feel a feathe-redge in one direction you have a toe-in issue. Either way you should check for worn/loose parts and have alignment checked.

If the toe in is within limits, check the ball joints, especially the lower ball joints.
