Why do the tires on one side of my Wagon R wear faster than the other side?

The tires on the left side of my 2018 Suzuki Wagon R are noticeably more worn out than those on the right. I havent hit any potholes recently. Could this be due to alignment issues, driving habits, o r something wrong with the suspension o r axle?

If one side left o r right shows more wear, potential causes include:

Consistent turning in one direction: In city driving o r narrow streets, frequent turning e.g., U-turns may affect one side more.

Misalignment: If camber o r toe angles are off on one side only, uneven wear will follow.

Suspension damage: A damaged strut, shock absorber, o r bent control arm possibly from an old pothole hit can cause uneven load on one side.

Fix:
Do a four-wheel alignment and inspect suspension parts, especially on the worn side. Replace any parts with play o r visible damage.
