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.

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.
