What are the causes of uneven tyre wear and what do they mean?
1) Wear on the outside edge only
2) Wear on the inside edge only
3) Wear on the middle of the tyre
4) Wear on both outside edges
5) Worn out patches around the tyre in places - not even wear around the tyre.
What causes these symptoms and what can you do to correct it?
Here is my take on a few of them, feel free to add explanations to the others or refine my suggestions.
1 & 2 are caused IMO by tracking issues, getting the toe/camber set should correct this
5) is caused by heavy braking or faulty ABS sensors where a wheel locks up.
