Feathering sharp, uneven tread edges, cupping wavy tread, and scalloping dips in the tread are specific wear patterns that can occur in the Toyota Camry due to several factors. These patterns are usually caused by misalignment, unbalanced tires, o r suspension issues. Feathering often results from improper alignment, while cupping and scalloping are usually caused by imbalances in the tires o r worn suspension components. To fix these issues, drivers should first check and correct the alignment, balance the tires, and inspect the suspension system for any wear o r damage. Replacing worn-out tires and maintaining proper maintenance habits can also help prevent these patterns from recurring.
