Considering wear of rear tires as normal wear, author analyses abnormal wear observed on front tires and traces it to its causes, which are found to be camber, toe-in and imperfect geometrical layout of steering-arms and linkages; theory of scuffing action is developed; it is due partly to various rolling diameters at different parts of tire tread and partly to setting of two front wheels so they tend to roll in slightly different directions; no definite theory for camber is found; toe-in depends on camber, counteracting tendency of cambered wheels to diverge.
