Irregular Tire Wear: Causes, Diagnosis and Solutions

Complete technical guide on irregular tire wear in trucks: how to identify it, what causes it, and how to fix it.

Irregular tire wear is one of the most common and costly problems truck operators face. A tire that wears unevenly not only shortens its service life, it also compromises safety and increases fuel consumption.

Types of Irregular Wear

• Edge wear: Indicates low inflation pressure
• Center wear: A sign of over-inflation
• Diagonal wear: Alignment problems
• Cupping (scalloping): Worn shock absorbers or imbalance
• Wear on one side only: Misadjusted camber
