Default Tire Wear
Just a question guys. My driver side front tire is wearing down. It's not the whole tire that has worn just the outside of the tire. What could it be? Alignment is off?

Toe settings.

Get it on an alignment rack.

agreed^^ check all 4 corners for alignment, it could save your tires down the road even more from wearin unevenly.

Your toe being out of spec will kill the inside of your tires faster than your camber being out of spec. Go get a 4 wheel alignment

Inside or outside...it depends....

Too much toe in...kills the outside
Too much toe out...kills the inside

Once they start wearing unevenly, their gunna keep wearing unevenly. I ruined brand new tires in 4 months. Wore them down to the wires. As soon as you see even a minimal amount of wear go get an alignment.
