Higher than specified toe-in can cause which of the following tire wear patterns?

A) accelerated wear to both the inside and outside shoulders of the tread
B) scuffing and feather-edge wear across the width of the tread
C) accelerated wear and scuffing at the center of the tread
D) cupped and uneven wear across inside treads

Toe-in

It refers to the alignment adjustment of vehicle wheels in which the front of the tires are closer to each other than the rear, promoting straight-line stability.

Feather-edge Wear

Wear pattern on tires or brakes characterized by a tapered condition where one edge is significantly thinner than the opposite edge, often resulting from improper alignment.

Scuffing

Wear caused by friction between two moving surfaces without adequate lubrication, often seen in engine parts.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Higher than specified toe-in typically causes scuffing and feather-edge wear across the width of the tread because the tires are angled inwards more than they should be, leading to uneven contact with the road surface as the vehicle moves forward.
