What Causes Tire Cupping?
1 Answers
Tire cupping is caused by: 1. Inaccurate wheel alignment; 2. Incorrect toe adjustment; 3. Steering gear malfunction or pulling; 4. Uneven or deformed chassis frame; 5. Mixing tires of different specifications with significant pressure variations. Tire cupping refers to abnormal accelerated wear on the inner or outer edges of one or more tires. Methods to prevent tire cupping include: 1. Adjusting tire pressure and consistently maintaining proper inflation; 2. Performing regular tire maintenance and rotation (recommended every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers) to ensure even wear and extend tire life; 3. Checking for loose wheel hub bolts; 4. Avoiding overloading and maintaining balanced tire load distribution.
