Ever noticed one edge of your tyre looking more worn than the rest? It's not just cosmetic — uneven tyre wear is usually your car telling you something, and it's worth listening to.
A few common culprits: wrong tyre pressure (too low wears the edges, too high wears the middle), wheels out of alignment after hitting a pothole or kerb, worn suspension components, or wheels that need balancing. Each one shows up differently on the tyre, which is actually one of the first things we check for when a car comes in.
Left unchecked, uneven wear doesn't just mean replacing tyres sooner than you should — it can affect your grip, your fuel economy and, come MOT time, whether your tyres even pass.
The fix is usually simple: a quick check of your pressures, tracking and alignment can catch the problem before it costs you a new set of tyres. If you've spotted uneven wear on yours, pop in and we'll take a look, free of charge.
