Tire Wear Patterns

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center of tire.

Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn more than the other. See Fig 1.

Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the tread. See Fig 1.
