What Causes Greater Wear on the Right Front Wheel Compared to the Left Front Wheel?
1 Answers
The reasons why the right front wheel wears more than the left front wheel: 1. Number of turns: When the car turns, there is a centrifugal force that shifts the center of gravity toward the outer wheel, increasing downward pressure and causing greater tire friction. 2. Low tire pressure: Tire pressure is crucial for tire health. If the pressure is too low, the tire body deforms more, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. Conversely, excessive pressure overstretches the tire cords, reduces elasticity, increases the load during driving, and may cause internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. High pressure also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
