How to Identify Tire Wear Levels?
1 Answers
Automobile tire wear generally manifests in three scenarios: outer tread wear, center tread wear, and inner tread wear. Below is a detailed explanation of tire wear patterns: 1. Outer tread wear: This typically indicates wheel alignment issues, specifically excessive positive camber. Only independent suspensions allow adjustment—if unadjustable, it signifies chassis problems requiring professional repair. 2. Center tread wear: Usually caused by overinflated tires. Check and reduce tire pressure to the manufacturer's specification (found near the driver's seat). 3. Inner tread wear: Often results from improper wheel balance, necessitating professional inspection. As vehicles operate, certain components like tires experience natural wear. Abnormal wear patterns signal potential chassis, alignment, or balance issues requiring immediate inspection to prevent driving hazards.
