Tire Wear Diagnosis

If I had to guess my problem is one part feathering, one part wear on one edge and a hint of cupping.




This is a very good explanation of the common problems. You should be aware though that cupping can also happen from an alignment problem, usually toe but camber as well.

Treat the article as a guide but look deeper and make sure that it is all correct. No worn parts, toe setting correct, caster reasonable, and camber properly set.

I had cupping problems that did not go away until the negative camber was reduced by installing the caster/camber kits.
