Irregular and/or Premature Wear









Irregular or premature tire wear has many causes. Some of them are: incorrect inflation pressures, lack of regular rotation, driving habits, or improper tire and wheel assignment. If tire and wheel alignment is reset due to a tire wear condition, always reset toe as close to zero degrees as the specification allows. Rotate tires if following conditions are noted:
^ Front and rear tire wear is unequal.
^ Uneven wear exists across tread of any tire.
^ Left and right front tire wear is unequal.

Check tire and wheel alignment if following conditions are noted:
^ Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
^ Wear is uneven across tread of any front tire.
^ Front tire treads have a scuffed appearance with "feather" edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks.
