| Wear | Cause |
| More wear on the edges of the tread compared to the middle | Tire pressure too low |
| Greater wear in the middle of the tread compared to the edges along the entire perimeter of the tire | Tire pressure too high. |
| Edge tread washout | Static and dynamic wheel imbalance. Probably due to too much rim lateral play, or too much play in the suspension joints |
| Tread wash out in the middle of the tread | Static wheel imbalance. A consequence of the large runout of the tire in height |
| Scaly or sawtooth tread wear. In special cases, it is associated with a break in the cord threads, which over time manifests itself on the outside | Vehicle overload. Check the inside of the tire for cord breaks. |
| Stretching of rubber on the side edges of the tread | Incorrect wheel alignment. On the rear wheels, also check the condition of the shock absorber! |
| Ridges on the side of the front wheel tread | Incorrect wheel alignment. Frequent driving on bumpy roads. Fast cornering. |
| Tire carcass breaks. Initially visible only from inside the tire | Driving over sharp edges of stones, rails, etc. at high speed. |
| One-sided tread wear | Check Camber |
