Which alignment setting most affects tyre wear?

  • A.Toe
  • B.Castor, which determines the self centring of the steering and therefore the effort required from the driver
  • C.Steering axis inclination
  • D.The ride height, which determines the angle at which the suspension arms operate and therefore the camber attained

Answer: A

A toe error makes the tyre run at a permanent slip angle, scrubbing away the tread and producing the characteristic feathered edge. Camber error wears one shoulder. Toe is the setting checked and corrected most often for exactly this reason. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
