Uneven wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire can be a sign that your vehicle's alignment is off.
- Inner wear: The wheels may be pointing too far inward, causing the inner part of the tire to rub against the suspension components and wear excessively.
- Outer wear: The wheels may be pointing too far outward, putting extra weight on the outer part of the tire.
2. Inflation Problems
- Tires that are overinflated will have more wear in the center of the tread, while
underinflated tires will show wear on the shoulders of the tire.
3. Worn Suspension Components
Worn suspension components can also cause uneven wear.
- Shocks or Struts: If they're worn, they won't be able to control the movement of the tires properly, leading to uneven wear.
- Control Arms or Ball Joints: If they're worn, they can cause the wheels to move out of alignment, resulting in uneven wear.
4. Vehicle Load Distribution
If your vehicle is constantly overloaded or carries heavy loads, it can put extra strain on the tires and cause uneven wear.
5. Tire Balance Problems
If your tires are out of balance, it can cause them to wear unevenly as the weight of the tire is not evenly distributed.
