tyre question

[enery8]

I recently visited my local tyre supplier and was told one one my tyres has a bit of 'toe and heal' As I ain't got a clue what he was talking about I thought I would ask the learned gents on here what that means.
Also, I am looking for an 18 inch 3 spoke wheel (and tyre) for my Rangey, part number STC8516.
anyone able to help???

Unequal tyre wear in a "sawtooth" pattern. Common on 4x4's. Particularly those with vcu/electronic engagement systems.
Premature tyre wear causing noisy tyres - symptomatically road howl. Mine sounded like a Stuka at full chat .

Thanks MHM. No Howl from mine, they said it was as a result of a radius arm bush being worn and I can see that might be the case. They also said it might be causing my tram lining, got to get that sorted next.
