Why do the tires on my Mercedes-Benz C-Class wear unevenly, especially on one side?

I have a Mercedes C200 W204, and I noticed that the tires on one side wear out much faster than the other. The front right tire shows more wear than the left, even though I rotate the tires regularly. Could this be due to alignment issues, suspension problems, o r poor road conditions in Islamabad? What should I check first to prevent uneven tire wear?

Uneven tire wear on one side, like faster wear on the front right tire, is often caused by:

Wheel alignment issues: Misalignment especially toe o r camber angles causes uneven pressure on tires.

Suspension problems: Worn ball joints, bushings, o r shock absorbers can affect tire contact with the road.

Poor road conditions: Frequent potholes and rough roads in Islamabad can quickly knock wheels out of alignment.

Driving habits: Aggressive cornering o r driving on uneven surfaces without suspension check can worsen wear.

What to do:

Get a professional wheel alignment check and correction.

Inspect suspension components for wear and replace if necessary.

Rotate tires regularly, but first fix alignment and suspension issues.

Avoid potholes and rough patches o r reduce speed over them.
