How To Solve Uneven Tire Wear For Your Lexus

As you're walking around your luxury automobile, you just happen to glance down at your tires and notice they are showing uneven tire wear. What could be the cause for your Lexus tires to wear so unevenly? Truth be told, there are a number of issues that could be to blame.

Here, we will look at several causes for uneven tire wear and what to do about it if you notice it. Keep in mind that when all else fails, and you need to get to the bottom of a problem with your Lexus in a hurry and professionally, it's best to take your vehicle to a certified Lexus technician. Remember, as well, that putting your Lexus on a preventative maintenance schedule will help keep it running at peak performance levels.

Now let's look at uneven tire wear.

Patchy Wear or Cupping

Your Lexus suspension system may have been damaged if you're noticing cupping or patchy wear. This scallop-like or erratic wear pattern is definitely cause for concern. Tire replacement and suspension repair should immediately be taken care of in this situation.

If you let this go and don't get it taken care of, at the worst moment possible your tire could be structurally compromised.

Outer Edge And Center Wear

Outer edge and center wear are also common kinds of tire wear that are considered uneven. Improper tire inflation is to blame for both of these. That can mean underinflated or overinflated tires causing, respectively, outer edge or center wear. Due to the unusual tire shape (a result of the over or under inflation), certain parts of the tire are receiving excess pressure, resulting in the uneven tread wear pattern.

According to manufacturer's recommendations, adjust your tire pressure down or up. This information can likely be found in the owner’s manual. Outer and inner wall weak points can be prevented by evening out the wear on your tires.

Outer and Inner Wear

If you’re noticing your tires’ outermost edges wearing excessively, this could point to a misalignment. "Toe wear" – as this can be referred to – is being caused because, only to the outer edge of the tire, an uneven, excessive amount of pressure is being applied.

The alignment of your vehicle should be tested by a certified mechanic and adjustments made depending on your model and make of vehicle. Once these adjustments have been made and a fresh set of tires installed, your problem with uneven tire wear should be solved.
