Shoulder wear
Insufficient pressure wears on both sides)
Insufficient tire pressure causes the tires to buckle as the cord is too kinked and the tread will not sit properly on the road surface. This will cause loss of traction and excessive wear, not to mention the risk of sudden dyne failure due to rising temperatures. Check and adjust pressure.
Wrong camber (wears out on one side)
Repair or replace suspension parts.
Difficult cornering
Reduce your speed!
Central wear
Pumping
Pumping causes rapid wear of the central part of the tire tread, as well as reduced traction and increased risk of tire blowout.
Check and adjust pressure. If you occasionally need to inflate your vehicle's tires to higher pressures than those specified for load limit or high speed maintenance, be sure to reduce the pressure to normal afterward.
Uneven wear
The front tires may wear unevenly as a result of wheel misalignment. Most service stations can check and adjust wheel alignment for moderate loads.
Incorrect camber or kingpin caster
Repair or replace suspension parts.
Faulty suspension
