Wear On One Side, Faulty Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the complaint is about one-sided tire wear, check the axle geometry. Billing to warranty is only possible in cases of one-sided tire wear that is caused by axle geometry errors that cannot be traced back to external effects on the tires and rims. The axle alignment log should be included with the tire complaint registration.

Due to tire skew, increased and one-sided wear. Frequently in conjunction with raised running surface to the point of ridge formation on tread edges.
