How to Deal with Uneven Tire Wear?
1 Answers
Tire uneven wear can be addressed through the following methods: 1. Adjust tire pressure. If the tire shoulders on both sides are worn, the tire pressure is too low; if the middle is worn, the tire pressure is too high. It is important to promptly replenish tire pressure and avoid overloading. 2. Perform a wheel alignment. If the outer edges of the tires are worn, it may be due to excessive toe-in or camber, or a bent steering knuckle arm. If the inner edges are worn, it may be due to insufficient toe-in or camber, requiring a wheel alignment correction. 3. Replace bushings and adjust the wheelbase. If all tires show regular wear on the same side, the thrust rod bushings may be damaged, necessitating bushing replacement and wheelbase adjustment. 4. Repair or replace the equalizer beam. If one or several tires show wear in the top groove depressions, it may be due to loose tie rods or a worn equalizer beam, requiring repair or replacement of the equalizer beam and tightening of the tie rods. 5. Replace with high-quality rims. If a tire shows irregular wear due to a deformed rim, promptly replace it with a high-quality rim. 6. Replace old tires. If there is a significant difference in wear between diagonal tires, replace the old tires. 7. Ream the drum or replace the brake disc. If dual tires show large patches of wear in one or two areas, it is usually a brake drum issue, requiring reaming or replacement.
