What is The single greatest cause of tire damage?
Tire wear is the most common "damage". The most common cause is use, but the greatest cause of tire wear is an improperly aligned vehicle. This is known as excessive tire wear. Excessive tire wear is wear that is in excess of what would be expected for the actual miles of use. Another cause of excessive tire wear (even on a properly aligned vehicle) is improper tire inflation. Over inflated tires cause the tire to wear in the center of the tread and under inflated tires will wear the outer portion of the tread. To focus more on damage as a single incident verses wear as an ongoing process. Severe impacts such as hitting a curb or a large pothole would top the list. The lower a tires aspect ratio the greater the potential for damage from this type of impact. The question needs clarification.
What would cause one front left tire to wear excessively?

Excessive or uneven tire wear is caused by?
The most common cause of uneven tire wear is a wheel alignment problem. The fix could be as simple as getting the car realigned or it may involve replacing steering/suspension components prior to performing an alignment. Tire pressure is also a common cause of tire wear. If the air pressure is too high inside the tire then the tire tread will wear more in the center. If the air pressure is too low the tread will wear more on the outside edges. Aggressive breaking/acceleration can also be a cause of tire wear problems.
Would bad tire rods cause tire wear?
Yes bad tie rods can cause tire wear. It is advisable that your vehicle's steering and suspension systems are checked regularly, at least once a year along with a complete wheel alignment. A worn tie rod can cause wandering, erratic steering and also major tire wear.
