Most likely causes

  1. Toe misalignment (feathered edges) — The most common alignment wear pattern — tread ribs feel like saw teeth.
  2. Camber wear (one edge bald) — Inside or outside shoulder wear from tilted wheels.
  3. Underinflation (both edges) / overinflation (center) — Pressure problems write their own signature.
  4. Worn shocks or struts (cupping) — Scalloped dips mean the tire is bouncing rather than staying planted.

What to do

Have the wear pattern read and an alignment check done before buying new tires — mounting fresh rubber on an unfixed cause just wears the new set the same way.

What this looks like

Your Tires Have an Expiration Date. Here's Where.

Your tires are the only part of your car that actually touches the road, and most people don't look at them until one goes flat. Four checks tell you whether you need new ones — all four are free, they take about two minutes, and one of them has nothing to do with how the tread looks. The penny test, the wear bars built into the tire, the date code on the sidewall that tells you how old the rubber is, and what your wear pattern says about the rest of the car.

Common questions

Should I replace tires before or after alignment?

Fix the cause first or simultaneously; new tires on bad alignment start wearing wrong immediately.

How often should alignment be checked?

Annually in pothole country, and after any significant impact or when uneven wear appears.

Can rotation fix uneven wear?

Rotation evens out wear going forward but can't restore worn tread — it's prevention, not repair.
