   I have had my vtr for 4 months and had some new tyres on it almost straight away but I checked them today and the inside of them is just about bald. what could be causing this?

   Front or rear?
   Fronts - tracking check and adjust, also worth getting suspension checked for play such as track rod ends. Bottom arms etc. . .
   Rears - F**ked axle?

   As said, probably excessive toe on front, worn top mount bearings, worn lower arm bushes or less likely for a Saxo incorrect lower arms fitted (some manufactures use different length arms).
   
   Your basically experiencing excessive toe or camber on the front. Considering camber is not adjustable on a standard saxo you will have to look at other parts which could cause similar outcomes ie above

   top mounts are a gd place to start and changing the position of the 3 studs effects camber can castor
   
   also check the toe - trackrod ends
   
   other than that i would say rear axel could be fuked but still shudnt be major wear
