Some Nissan Sentra owners report experiencing excessive front tire wear despite having proper alignment and component checks. This issue may stem from improper camber and toe settings, where incorrect wheel alignment, particularly a high negative camber or excessive toe-out, can lead to increased wear on the inside of the front tires. Additionally, factory alignment settings may deviate over time due to suspension wear, resulting in uneven tire wear. Owners also note that an improperly adjusted toe angle can cause rapid and uneven tire wear, even when the alignment appears correct. Furthermore, it is crucial to check and adjust the wheel alignment under unladen conditions to account for factors like incorrect air pressure and excessive wear. If excessive front tire wear persists, consulting a trusted mechanic or alignment specialist is recommended for a thorough inspection to identify any underlying issues.
