It might also mean that a shock or strut isn\u2019t doing its job, causing an irregular wear pattern. Horizontally, it may look OK, but vertically a little wave can be seen when you look at it from the side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid this problem, make sure you stay up-to-date on tire services, such as wheel alignments, and that suspension parts are replaced when they break or become worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-1024x771.png\" alt=\"Jeep Cherokee tire worn on edges.\" class=\"wp-image-2411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-1024x771.png 1024w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-1536x1157.png 1536w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-793x597.png 793w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges-1080x813.png 1080w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Jeep-Cherokee-tire-worn-on-edges.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Excessive inner or outer tire wear: <\/strong>Too much wear on one side of the tire can be a symptom of a bad car alignment. If you notice the inside or outside is wearing more quickly than the rest of the tire, that can be a toe alignment problem or an excessive camber issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preventing premature tire wear is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/benefits-wheel-alignments\/\"><strong>benefits of regular tire alignments<\/strong><\/a>. We recommend them once a year or every 15,000 miles, when suspension parts are replaced, and after new tires are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tire worn in the middle: <\/strong>A tire wearing more in the center than other parts of the tire might indicate that it\u2019s overinflated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details about the <a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/tire-pressure-why-it-matters\/\"><strong>correct tire pressure<\/strong><\/a> are provided on the tire sidewall or the driver\u2019s side door jam. Depending on the vehicle, tire pressure can be anywhere from 32 to 36 pounds per square inch (PSI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wearing on the tire\u2019s outer edges: <\/strong>Both the inside and outside of the tire experiencing premature wear may be the result of low tire pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should regularly check the air in your tires. You might have a flat tire if one tire is lower than the rest. All four tires having less air than they should can be caused by drastic decreases in outside temperatures during colder months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why even tread wear is important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tires play a significant role in the safety of drivers and passengers. Having good tire patch contact with the road gives you the best ability to maintain control, stop and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Blown out tire.\" class=\"wp-image-2410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-1536x870.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-100x57.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-793x449.jpg 793w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia-1080x612.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Blown-out-tire-in-Prince-William-County-Virginia.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not paying attention to the tread at all and you\u2019re having a lot of inside tire wear, then you could get down to the chords or steel belts of the tire.
