Suspension & Steering (A4)Question 34 of 120
A tire worn on both inner and outer edges, with good tread in the center, most likely indicates:
a.Over-inflation
b.Excessive positive camber
c.A worn tie rod end
d.Chronic under-inflation
Explanation
Under-inflation lets the tire ride on both shoulders while the center bears less load, wearing both edges. Over-inflation does the opposite, wearing the center. Correct inflation and periodic pressure checks prevent this pattern.
