Abnormal tire wear?

TreeSemdyZee · 06-26-2010, 09:44 AM

Trip, I believe you have it backwards. Too much air causes the inside to wear more. When having too much air, rather than having a "flat" surface to ride on, there is more of a rounded shape and the tire will ride on the highest point. i.e. inside (center) of tire.

OP. Just to make sure we're all talking about the same thing. When you say "inside" do you mean the middle of the tire or inside as in closest to the car? Since you said "outsides", I'm assuming that by "inside" you mean the middle of the tire.

I think there is an outside, middle and inside. My outsides are wearing too quickly. You are right, too much air causes the center of the tire to wear quickly, while too little causes the insides and outsides...

Another example would be that camber typically wears out the inside of the tire.

How about some pics so we know if it's abnormal or not.
