For each pattern, the sheet lists probable causes such as misalignment, incorrect air pressure, worn mechanical parts, nonuniformity, balance issues, and mismount, along with corrective actions and tire disposition recommendations like checking alignment, inspecting worn parts, adjusting pressure, rotating position, retreading, or continuing use until minimum tread depth is reached.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/the-usual-suspects-irregular-steer-tire-wear-patterns-one-sided-wear-probable-causes-and-corrective-actions/564254/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-usual-suspects-irregular-steer-tire-wear-patterns-one-sided-wear-probable-causes-and-corrective-actions/564254.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"hdkawk","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-12",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What usually causes one-sided steer tire wear?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"One-sided wear is commonly caused by out-of-alignment specification parameters such as camber, toe, and axle parallelism.
