5 Common Causes of Outside Tire Wear & Tyre Wear Patterns
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Excessive positive camber can cause uneven tire wear on the outer edge, but a simple alignment can usually fix it.
- 2
Underinflation causes tires to wear out faster along the outside edges because the outer shoulder of the tire takes on extra stress.
- 3
Cupping or scalloping patterns on tires indicate worn suspension components like shocks and struts need replacement.
