The Car Tire Wear Patterns Explained
Understanding tire wear helps you spot problems early and stay safe on the road.
Here are the most common wear patterns:

1. Center Wear
Cause: Over-inflated tires
Effect: Wears out the middle faster than the edges
Fix: Lower tire pressure to manufacturer specs

2. Edge Wear (Shoulder Wear)
Cause: Under-inflated tires
Effect: Wears out both outer edges
Fix: Inflate tires to proper PSI

3. One-Sided Wear (Camber Wear)
Cause: Misaligned wheels or worn suspension
Effect: One side of the tire wears faster
Fix: Get a wheel alignment

4. Cupping/Scalloping
Cause: Bad shocks or suspension issues
Effect: Patchy, uneven dips around the tire
Fix: Inspect and replace suspension components

5. Feathering
Cause: Incorrect toe alignment
Effect: Tread feels smooth in one direction, sharp in the other
Fix: Wheel alignment needed

6. Flat Spotting
Cause: Hard braking or car sitting too long
Effect: Flat area on tire
Fix: Avoid harsh braking, move car if parked long

Tip: Rotate your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles and check air pressure monthly.
