my Skoda Octavia's tires wear unevenly what should I check

Solution

1. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  2. Inflate or deflate the tires to match the recommended pressure listed in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb label.

2. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Drive the vehicle to a professional alignment shop.
  2. Have the technician perform a four-wheel alignment check.
  3. Adjust camber, caster, and toe settings as needed to meet manufacturer specifications.

3. Suspension Inspection and Replacement

• Sub-steps:
  1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Visually inspect the suspension components for signs of wear or damage (e.g., leaking shock absorbers, worn bushings).
  3. Replace any damaged suspension components with OEM or quality aftermarket parts.
  4. Reassemble and lower the vehicle.

4. Tire Rotation or Replacement

• Sub-steps:
  1. If the tires are worn unevenly, consider rotating them to promote even wear.
  2. If tread depth is significantly different, replace the affected tires.
  3. Ensure that new tires are installed in the correct orientation (directional tires if applicable).
