Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.

Note:

If your tires show uneven wear ask a qualified technician at a

reputable repair facility to check for and correct any wheel misalignment,
tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.

Tire wear

Measure and inspect the tire tread on all your tires periodically.
Advanced and unusual tire wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip
the road in adverse (wet, snowy, etc.) conditions. Visually check your
tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually
smooth areas. Also check for signs of tire damage.

When the tread is worn down to 4
mm (1/16th of an inch), tires must
be replaced to prevent your vehicle
from skidding and hydroplaning.
Built-in treadwear indicators, or
“wear bars”, which look like narrow
strips of smooth rubber across the
tread will appear on the tire when
the tread is worn down to 4mm (1/16th of an inch). When you see these
“wear bars”, the tire is worn out and should be replaced.

Inspect your tires frequently for any of the following conditions and
replace them if one or more of the following conditions exist:

Fabric showing through the tire rubber

Bulges in the tread or sidewalls

Cracks or cuts on the sidewalls

Cracks in the tread groove

Impact damage resulting from use

Separation in the tread

Separation in the sidewall

Severe abrasion on the sidewall

If your vehicle has a leak in the exhaust system, a road tire or the spare
tire may be exposed to hot exhaust temperatures requiring the tire to be
replaced.
