Thanks Nick. It is the outside edges that are worn actually; that was a
typo earlier (or just plain confusion).
Your information is much appreciated.

Yes I noted you said OUTSIDE indicating excessive toe in. The 'known' fault
is excessive toe out and inside worn edges.
Mind you, knowning those Italian robots the excessive in / out may vary on a
weekly, monthly or yearly basis!

A quick rough and ready check is to put a couple of scaffold planks
on breeze blocks, or similar, lightly pressed against the tyre walls,
should be parallel, if not a back of an envelope calculation will
give toe in/out. Well it's quick, and free and should give you some
idea if it's seriously out.
Also If having the tracking done professionally, have the balance
checked while you are there.
