Front tires wearing on the inside edges

2019 Honda Passport AWDTires & wheels

Asked by MyBlueHonda · 2026-09-30

At my last rotation the shop said the inside edges of both front tires are much more worn than the rest of the tread. The car does not pull, but I hit a pothole hard a few months ago. Is this an alignment problem?

Online advice does not replace an in-person vehicle inspection.

Brakes, steering, tires, suspension and fuel leaks can affect your safety. Treat answers as possibilities, not a diagnosis, and have the vehicle inspected before driving it far.

Wear on the inside edges of both front tires is a classic sign of an alignment setting that is out of specification, most often toe and sometimes camber. A hard pothole hit can knock the alignment out without causing an obvious pull. Worn suspension parts, such as control arm bushings or tie rod ends, can also let the wheels move out of position under load.

We would recommend an alignment check with a printout of the before and after measurements, along with an inspection of the steering and suspension parts, since an alignment will not hold if something is worn.

Also have the tread depth measured on the inner edge. Inner shoulders can wear down to the cords while the middle of the tread still looks fine, and that is a safety concern, especially in wet weather.
