Why are my tires worn on the edges?

Under Inflation
This is a common cause of unusual wear. When tires are improperly inflated, they tend to wear more rapidly and unevenly. When vehicle manufacturers specify the inflation pressures for the front and rear tires to optimize handling, comfort, and fuel economy, they also consider tire wear. If the tire pressure is too low, or even too high, the contact patch of the tire tread is not optimized to handle the wide variety of jobs it is asked to do. You should check the pressure in all of your tires, including the spare, every month. It’s also a good idea to check it before going on a long trip or when you plan to carry an exceptionally heavy load. You can usually find the vehicle manufacturer’s tire pressure specifications on a placard/label affixed to the driver’s door or along the door jam, or you can look it up your owner’s manual.Improper Tire Alignment
Tire alignment, also called wheel alignment, is the adjustment of the vehicle’s steering and suspension components, which connects and controls the motion of the wheels. It is not an adjustment of the tires or wheels themselves. The key to proper alignment is to adjust the angles of the tires and their contact with the road according to the manufacturer’s specifications for camber, toe, and caster. If the alignment is off or incorrect, your tires can wear unevenly and prematurely.At V&F
