Some Mercedes-Benz SL550 owners report experiencing excessive front tire wear on the inside tread after 25,000 miles, which can be concerning. This issue may arise from misaligned wheels or suspension problems that lead to uneven wear on the inner edges of the tires. Additionally, small toe adjustments might not fully resolve the problem, particularly if the wear is significant despite adequate tread remaining on the middle and outside of the tire. While maintaining proper tire inflation, rotation, and balance is essential, these practices may not prevent inner tread wear caused by alignment issues. Furthermore, excessive wear on the inside tread could indicate problems with the camber or toe angle of the wheels. Owners are advised to have their Mercedes-Benz SL550 inspected by a qualified mechanic or alignment specialist to diagnose and address the specific cause of the excessive tire wear.
