Go to the shop and check the wheel balance or the wheel alignment.

+1 on the alignment and check if you need new camber/s

A related question...

My rear tires would wear faster on the inside since the Rav4's rear has a negative camber setting. The wear on the rear tires is quite noticeable if you forgot to rotate your tires (guilty!) every now and then.

To salvage the tires, what I did is to have them unmounted, flipped them (so that the outside is now in the inner side) and then mounted them again to the wheels.

Is that ok?

P.S.

My better tires (almost brand new) are in front and I am hesitant to move them back because of this.

M2, ok lang yan as long as hindi unidirectional ang tires mo.

another related question...

one of my front tire developed an unusual wear... about 4-in on the inner portion only has worn out (hindi naman natuklap), could it be a case of manufacturing defect? the 3 other tires don't have any problem, tinanong ko sa casa kung pwedeng palitan... di na raw kasama sa warranty

all tires are stock and 18 months old.

nangyari na din sa akin yung inner side ang mabilis nasisira ang may diperensya eh yung wheel bearing...
a quick way to find out if ur bearing is still ok...i jack mo yung side na mabilis masira yung gulong tapos i shake mo yung gulong pag maalog baka sira na yung bearing/hub
* sir mazda.. basta nde directional yung tire ok lang i swap yun

magkano po ba magagastos sa wheel alignment?
eh kung kasama po camber alignment?
need po ba talaga na kapag nagpa-wheel alignment sabay ng camber alignment na rin?
at what instance do i need wheel alignment? camber alignment?
thanks.
