Irregular Tyre Wear

[shujah4]

Aoa. I've 2016 Mehran, 18k ODO. Today it's front right tyre got punctured and I took it to the tyre shop. When the mechanic pulled out the tyre I came to know that there is wear of the tyre on entire inner half almost, not much but comparing to the outer side its obvious. Mechanic told me that it may wobble and advised me to get it checked for wheel lining and alignment. All other tyres are almost new and fine. Should I go for suspension alignment check? From where? and how much they will cost approx.? I'm based at Bahawalpur. Plz guide me.

Get the alignment (toe angle) checked.
Camber is fixed i guess so. If camber is out of spec then check the control arm bushes if they are also fine then it might indicate a problem with spring (ride height) OR the lower body where control arm fits.

What is camber? And how much do they cost for alignment check? I think there was always a misalignment in new Mehran from the day first but it never bothered me.

cost about 300~500 for both cambering and alignment.
Camber is the angle of car wheel which it makes with the surface.

This image will help you understand these angles. If any of these gets out of spec then that will cause uneven tire wear..
Just get the alignment first and check if the issue solves. It must be an alignment issue if you haven't got it aligned from a long time.

Replace the effected tyre & get the alignment job done. You will be fine.
If the tyre is not in that much bad condition then just get the wheel alignment !

Tyre is in good condition. I'll get the wheel alignment done. Thanks bro

Wheel alignment and balancing.

Problem is with camber and toeing. Control arm bushes also worn out. Mechanic is saying that I should get my car's rear and front tyres exchanged.

[shujah4]

He charged me Rs 500 for alignment correction
+ Rs 180 for 2 bushes and Rs 100 for tyre exchange.
Total: Rs 780

Tires should be swapped every 12000km-15000km..
Those bushes would be the reason for negative camber.
Price seems to be ok if the labor for changing bushes is also included in it...

12-15km isn't too short milage for tyres swap?

[hassantahir2]

I didn't mean to change them..
I was talking about swapping the rear tyres to front and front one's to rear... Most of the car manufacturer's in Pakistan recommend the same interval.
