Wear pattern: checking
The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if
toe and camber settings should be checked:
♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.
♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.
When wear of this nature is noticed determine cause by carrying
out alignment checks (repair measure).
