Shredding document

I read regularly what you say regarding shredding of inside edges of tyres on disintegrating humps. Why is it the inside edge that is affected and is it only the inside edge?

From straddling the chamfered edges of the speed cushions. The tyres are forced downwards and outwards and the inner shoulders get ripped to shreds. You suffer no tyre damage if you go over them one wheel over, one wheel on the flat. But then you eventually break your springs.
