Note the squared edges of tire tread on the first view of the tire on the
previous display. This is the way a tire should wear at all times. The
tread will get more shallow as wear continues but the wear should be even.
The zoom view shows what a tire looks like when wheels are out of align-
ment. The tread wears and feathers to one side . . . it can be in either
direction depending on the problem. Watch the wear on your tires and if you
see this feathering, you must get into an alignment shop.
Wheels can go out of alignment due to wear and tear on suspension parts or
if you strike a chuckhole too severely or even if you hit a curb at a bad
angle.

It's not too common, but if front wheel bearings are out of adjustment or
simply worn out, tires can wear at abnormal angles also. With proper lubri-
cation and adjustment, wheel bearings should be no problem for thousands of
miles. They should be checked by an experienced mechanic every 10,000 miles.
