What are the symptoms of an out-of-round tire?
1 Answers
Tire out-of-roundness can cause strong vibrations while driving. Here is some relevant information about out-of-round tires: 1. Hazards: If the front tire is affected, it will impact steering sensitivity, and the steering wheel and seat will experience very noticeable vibrations. Immediate inspection and repair are required. If caused by wheel hub deformation, it may also lead to poor tire airtightness, resulting in air leakage and pressure loss. Tires are the most critical components in a vehicle's driving system, directly related to driving safety. If a tire issue is detected, immediately stop the vehicle safely, replace it with a spare tire, or visit an auto repair shop for servicing. 2. Wheel hub replacement: The most obvious symptom caused by an out-of-round wheel hub is vehicle deviation. If the tire is out-of-round due to wheel hub deformation, the hub must be replaced and should not continue to be used as it poses a safety hazard. Dynamic balancing cannot repair a deformed wheel hub. If the wheel hub exhibits issues such as bending, cracking, or severe corrosion, it should be replaced promptly. Failure to replace a damaged wheel hub may result in the tire slipping off the hub or even lead to loss of vehicle control. However, minor scratches are generally not a significant issue, but deformation requires hub replacement.
