Do I Need to Replace Tires with Uneven Wear?

[OAnthony]

Tires with uneven wear need to be replaced. Below are the specific functions of car tires: Cushioning Impact: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help cushion the impact experienced during driving. Comfort: They ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. Below is extended information about tire pressure: Function of Low-Pressure Tires: Low-pressure tires are mainly used for private cars. Function of High-Pressure Tires: High-pressure tires are primarily used for large trucks or passenger vehicles. Tire Pressure: The recommended tire pressure for high-speed driving is 2.5 kilograms per cubic centimeter.

A while ago, my car experienced tire wear issues, mainly severe inner wear on the front tires to the point where the cords were almost visible. That situation really required immediate tire replacement, otherwise it would be extremely dangerous on the road, especially prone to skidding or blowouts during rain or high-speed driving. When I took it to the repair shop for inspection, the mechanic said it was caused by improper wheel alignment. After replacing the new tires, I also got a four-wheel alignment done, and now the car runs perfectly stable. Remember, uneven tire wear not only affects lifespan but may also damage the suspension system. It's recommended to address it as soon as it's noticed—don't delay to save money. Safety is priceless, and replacing tires is a must. Also, develop the habit of regularly checking tread depth yourself using a coin or getting a professional inspection every six months.

My car is over ten years old, and I've seen plenty of tire wear issues. If it's just slight uneven wear on one side, you can first check if it's due to uneven tire pressure or road conditions. Sometimes, a simple adjustment can make it last a while longer, so there's no need to rush into replacing them. However, if the wear is severe enough to expose the steel wires inside or the depth is uneven, then you definitely need new tires. The last time I encountered this, I saved money by going to a repair shop to test the wear values and alignment data, only to find that there was also a slight issue with the bearings. Replacing the tires cost just a few hundred dollars, but the driving feel improved immediately afterward. Also, when replacing tires, choose a good brand—don't skimp on quality. Regular tire maintenance can help prevent this situation.

Tire wear usually indicates abnormal wear, such as one side wearing faster than the other. When I studied auto repair, I learned this is often caused by wheel alignment deviations or loose suspension. Whether to replace the tire depends on the degree of wear: press your fingernail into the tread—if the depth is less than 1.6mm or visually uneven, replacement is necessary. Otherwise, it increases the risk of skidding while driving and may damage the chassis. I rely on daily observation—if I notice uneven wear, I check the data. Minor issues can be fixed with alignment adjustments, but major problems require new tires for safety.
