Best Answer

There's several types of tire wear, I'll list a few of the most common: Low tread inside outside with good tread in the center = Too low air pressure. Low tread in the center with good tread on outer edges = Too high air pressure. Heavy wear on inside of both tires = camber and/or toe adjustment out. Heavy wear on outside of both tires = camber and/or tow adjustment out. Feathering or choppy wear = poor shocks and/or toe out of adjustment and/or unbalanced tire/s.

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.
