Why do my Wagon R tires wear unevenly even after regular wheel alignment?

Even though I get regular wheel alignment and tire rotation, the tires on my Suzuki Wagon R still wear unevenly. Could worn-out suspension bushings o r incorrect tire pressure be to blame? How do I ensure even tire wear long-term?

Even with alignments, tires can wear unevenly due to:

Inaccurate o r basic alignment jobs: Some shops only do toe alignment camber/caster may still be off.

Worn suspension components: If alignment won’t hold, it may be due to play in suspension parts like ball joints o r control arms.

Improper inflation: Even a few PSI too high o r low can cause center o r edge wear.

Driving style and road conditions: Aggressive acceleration, braking, o r frequent potholes can also lead to uneven wear.

Fix:
Request a complete alignment report including camber and caster, check tire pressure monthly, and ask the mechanic to inspect all suspension and steering components thoroughly.
