β‘ QUICK DIAGNOSIS SUMMARY
Uneven tire wear is caused by improper cold inflation pressure or mechanical alignment issues. Shoulder wear on both edges indicates under-inflation. Center tread wear indicates over-inflation. One-sided edge wear indicates incorrect camber/toe alignment.
1. Wear Pattern Visual Guide
1. Outer Shoulder WearPrimary Cause: Under-Inflation
Low pressure forces weight onto the outer shoulders, causing premature rubber degradation on both edges.
2. Center Rib WearPrimary Cause: Over-Inflation
Excess pressure bulges the center tread outward, reducing outer contact and concentrating friction in the middle.
3. One-Sided Edge WearPrimary Cause: Alignment Camber/Toe
Misaligned wheels tilt the tire inward or outward, scrubbing off tread on one specific edge.
