What can you tell by looking at your tread?


Over Inflated

Wear in the middle of the tread indicates that your tires have been run overinflated for a significant period of time.





Under Inflated

Wear on both shoulders indicates that your tires have been run underinflated for a significant period of time.

To prevent this problem, you should maintain the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle.



Poor Alignment

Wear on the inside or outside edge indicates that your wheels are misaligned.





Out of Balance

Wear left or right of center is called "cupping." This indicates that your tires need to be balanced or that there is a problem with your vehicle's steering or suspension.
