- The front tires on my 90 Dodge Caravan have worn out on the inside edges.
- The tires are basically bald on the inside and have developed scalloped
- areas. Prior to this extreme wear condition I noticed an uneven surface
- on the inside edges; periodic bumps in the tire surface.
-
- I've heard that front wheel drive cars typically wear on the inside
- edges, and my other front-wheel drive car does wear-out first in this
- area.
-
- I've got about 37K miles on the tires. I rotated them about every 8-9K
- miles.
-
- Do I have an alignment problem or just worn-out tires?
