Causes of High Front Tire Wear:

Under normal driving circumstances with a front-wheel-drive vehicle (passenger cars, minivans, etc.), the front tires will wear at a rather higher rate than the rear tires.

Similar to the case of a rear-wheel-drive performance vehicle, although to not the identical extent. The front tires are called on to manage all the drivetrain forces in an exceedingly front-wheel-drive arrangement. Front tire wear is further advanced because the front tires handle the majority of the steering and braking forces.

Tire rotation is that the solution to even tire wears in a very front-wheel-drive vehicle. Most front-wheel-drive passenger cars have a square tire setup, which allows for front to rear tire rotations.

If tire rotations are occurring and your front (or rear) tires are experiencing a disproportionate amount of damage in an exceedingly front-wheel-drive vehicle – especially uneven wear across the front tires – then inflation, alignment, and/or suspension issues are the likely causes.

Examples:

1. Underinflated tires will develop high go down the surface edges.
2. Overinflated tires will develop high wear within the center of the tread.
3. Toe wear and camber wear will manifest in high go down the within or outside tread blocks of the tires.
4. Cupping wear may be a sign of tired or broken suspension components.

If you’re experiencing high, uneven front or rear tire wear, first rule out improper inflation because of the cause. Take a look at knowing your tire pressure for guidance. If tire pressures are within specification, then alignment and/or suspension issues are the likely culprits.
