WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The tread wear on the front tires will help determine whether toe or camber need to be checked.
- Feathered edges of the treads may indicate faulty toe adjustment.
- One-sided tread wear is mostly caused by faulty camber.
If such wear patterns are found, determine the causes by checking the wheel alignment (repair measure).
