Default Uneven Tire wear on my Accord question

So I replaced my Accord driver side tire and not my passenger side tire with only 20 percent tread left. Now I've noticed that my passenger side tire (the one I didn't replace) is wearing very unevenly on the inside which I've never had problems with before. Could this be due to the different amounts of tread on them? Do I need to replace both front tires at the same time in the future?

when u replace one tire it causes the car to ride unevenly so yea u should relace both i recommend all 4 at the same time! and to be on the safe side u should get your alignment checked so u dont ruin your new tires and rotate them every 20,000 miles or so that will help u get more out of your tires that u just payed good money for!!!!

If money is an option then yes, chage both front or bothe rear. Never change just one of your tires...this is most important on your drive wheels (front). And after a frot tire change a good allignment is a must.

dont worry about ur back tires. just replace teh front two

ur tire has an uneven wear either because of your struts or negative camber(if your car is lowered)

i worked at a tire shop for a few months.

i had a set of nice tires in front w/ lots of tread left on them and 1 blew out and i had to change both of them. what sucked was that i didnt have warranty on them other wise i'd gotten them replaced them from free.

but any ways, if its about front tires, both should be replaced at the same time. because it can set off your alignment and the alignment shop cant do anything about that either.

get an alignment done and ask them to check the toe. I had an issue where my rear wheels were wearing out in the side and it happend to be the toe.

I'm with everyone here when I say it's an alignment issue. Also, make sure your tires are properly inflated everytime you get gas.

once it starts to wear like that its going to continue to wear unevenly.
