Wear on the outside both edges is a sign you are running the tires with too little air pressure. Wear in the center is a sign you are over inflating the tires with too much air pressure. Cupping of the tires is a sign of worn shocks or struts. Wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire is a sign that the front end needs aligning. Also feathering of the tire is a sign of a front end out of alignment.
