Uneven tread

My tires are wearing unevenly on the inside. I had the front shocks replaced, but it seems to still be doing it. What else should I have checked? Thanks.

check your psi. they might be underinflated. other than that, maybe they just need a rotation?

my front passenger tire is wearing a lot worse than the rest, but I am due for a rotation.

Actually three things will keep your tires lasting a bit longer.

Everyone hit on them and they are all very important

ALIGNMENT

PROPER PRESSURE

FREQUENT ROTATION

My Runner has historically chewed up the right front tire the fastest (outside edge). Ongoing problem since my wife and I got t-boned years ago. My alignment was finally done this last time by someone I trust. He literally had to heat up the tierod sleeve with a torch to get it to budge. I think my alignment hasn't been right for about 5-6 years - even though I've had it aligned repeatedly (various places). Alot of underhanded shops out there...
