If your Prius has poor alignment e.g., excessive camber, toe-in, o r toe-out, it leads to uneven wear:

Excessive camber: One side of the tire touches the road more than the other, causing wear on one side.
Toe misalignment: This happens when the tires point inward toe-in o r outward toe-out, leading to uneven wear across the tread.

Solution: Have your alignment checked every 10,000 km o r if you notice uneven wear. Alignment services are available in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
