RE: Severe Outer Edge Tire Wear on One Front Wheel

Far from an expert on this subject but I'm going to take a SWAG at this
one, I had to deal with some similar problems (not as severe) just a year
ago.  The first and most obvious possibility is camber way off.  The
second, more subtle, is caster way off causing tire to dig in on left
turns.  And third, hardware problems in the suspension that make everything
look right on the alignment rack but don't work right on the road.
