Unusal Tire Wearing (under Inflation), Need Help

[Thanushka]

Hi Guys,

Both front tires in my car are tend to wear both sides if the tire, but not the middle of the tire. I think air pressure is ok (30) and also no problem in alignments too.

Anyone know the cause of this problem and how to avoid it?

Bad tie rods or struts?

IRC wear on the inside= tierods outside=struts.

It could also mean that you just need to get an alignment done.

Could be that there is still too much pressure on the side walls and your tire is actually underinflated. If you're checking the pressure after any sort of drive then it's not actually 30, that's just the pressure of the heated and expanded air inside the tire. Keep in mind that the pressure rating on the door beam on your car is the minimum required for safety in your car according to its weight distribution. This is the "cold" reading when your tires have been seated for at least 3 hours in a shade without driving. Otherwise you should inflte about 2 or 3 units above whatever reading you get at the pump, which will be higher than the actual rating. If you can get ahold of a portable digital guage then do that.

Alignment was done, but still the problem was there
