Inner Edge/Shoulder Wear

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inner edge (or shoulder) wear occurs on the inside edge of the tire and is usually caused by excessive toe out and/or excessive negative camber. If the tread depth of the outer shoulder is at least 50% greater than the tread depth of the inner shoulder, the tire is experiencing inner edge/shoulder wear. Visually inspect the tires to determine whether the tires have this type of wear. In some instances, the tread depth of each rib may need to be measured and compared it to that of the shoulder.

NOTE: RF tire shown in illustration, others similar.
