What are the common causes of uneven tire wear?
1 Answers
Tire wear is uneven generally due to the following problems, which are: 1. Abnormal tire pressure, or a significant difference in pressure between the four tires. Excessive tire pressure leads to severe wear in the central part of the tire, while insufficient tire pressure causes severe wear on both sides. 2. Issues with tire dynamic balance. If there is a problem with the tire dynamic balance, the tire may exhibit patchy wear. 3. Problems with wheel alignment. Excessive camber angle results in severe wear on the outer edge, while insufficient camber angle causes severe wear on the inner edge. 4. Suspension issues. For example, loose ball joints, misaligned front suspension systems, etc. If it's a suspension problem, the tire tread may show sawtooth wear, or individual tires may experience excessive wear.
