Tire wear on the sides, middle or choppy tire wear
Worn out tire tread
1). If your tire treads are worn in the middle, this is usually a sign of over inflation. Note the middle of the tire is worn and the outside treads are still in good shape. The tire's middle treads wore out because the tire only contacted the road in the middle due to over inflation.
2).If your tire treads are worn on the outside, this is usually an indicator of under inflated tires. The middle treads were not touching in a straight line due to the fact they were away from the road surface folding upwards in a concave way.
3). If your tire treads are worn on the outside edge's, this is usually a sign of toe alignment wear. Your vehicle may need an alignment to correct the problem.
4). If your tire treads are worn on the inside. this is an indication of caster and camber alignment wear. Again, a wheel alignment may need to be done soon.
5). If your tire tread wear is choppy it may be due to tire balance, bad shocks or other loose steering components. In this case you should have your front end need inspected by a good mechanic.
