in treadwear as these could indicate problems with alignment or inflation.

2: Check your tire air pressure monthly, take the easiest step to extend tire life. Maintain the correct pressure.

3: Get your tires rotated every 6000 miles. In most cars, only one or two wheels "drive" the car.

4: Have your wheels balanced

5: Check your alignment each year

This causes the tire's sidewall to flex excessively, resulting in higher operating temperatures and possible internal structural damage. All this could cause tire failure, leading to vehicle damage and/or personal injury.
