    Default Car tire help

    Can anyone tell me why my front passenger tire is wearing faster then the other 3?

    Its a 2008 Nissan Sentra SER

    Tires are rotated regularly but in the last 2 months the front passenger tire has worn down to almost bald

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry for the post but google wasnt giving me a straight answer and I dont wanna get screwed by a shady mechanic making a mountain out of a mole hill
    Take it easy and if she is easy take her twice

    Is your alignment out? Usually that is the cause.

    Do you have a overweight wife?











    But seriously, get an alignment done, you must have hit a massive pothole or curbed ur tire bad enough for it to be out.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    It is possible one wheel is out of alignment. While they are there, get them to make sure all the suspension parts are in good shape. It's gotta be one or the other.
