Is It Safe to Have Different Tread Patterns on Rear Tires?
1 Answers
Having different tread patterns on rear tires is unsafe. Tires with different tread patterns have varying friction levels with the ground, which can cause the vehicle to pull to one side when the tread patterns on both sides are inconsistent. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly clean out stones stuck in the tread grooves; 2. Avoid prolonged exposure of tires to direct sunlight; 3. Frequently check tire pressure—refer to the normal tire pressure values listed on the inside of the fuel tank cap and adjust accordingly; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Schedule regular front-wheel alignment checks; 6. Be mindful of driving habits—choose smooth road surfaces, avoid objects that could puncture or damage tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode tires.
