Is Uneven Tire Tread Wear in My Suzuki Alto Lapin Caused by a Misalignment Issue?

My Suzuki Alto Lapin’s tires seem to be wearing out faster on one side than the other. Could this be a sign that the wheels are misaligned? How do I know if a wheel alignment issue is the cause of this uneven wear, and how can I get it fixed?

Yes, misalignment is one of the primary causes of uneven tire wear. When your Suzuki Alto Lapin’s wheels are misaligned, they don’t point in the correct direction, which leads to uneven tire contact with the road. This can cause the tires to wear out more quickly on one side o r in specific areas of the tread.

Toe Alignment Issues: When the wheels point inward o r outward, it causes the tires to drag along the road, leading to faster wear.

Camber Angle Issues: If the camber angle is off, meaning the wheels tilt inward o r outward, this can cause the tire tread to wear more on the inside o r outside edges of the tires.

Solution:

Have a professional mechanic check and adjust your wheel alignment. Most tire shops o r service centers offer alignment services.
Proper alignment ensures that all four wheels are aligned to the manufacturer’s specifications, distributing wear evenly across the tire tread.
