What Causes Uneven Tire Wear on Trucks?
1 Answers
Truck tire uneven wear can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Incorrect wheel alignment, resulting in the four tires not being in the standard required horizontal and vertical straight lines. The wheels on the same side may experience uneven wear during driving. When the front or rear wheels do not travel in a straight line, the vehicle self-corrects, causing abnormal increased friction and accelerated wear on certain parts of a tire. 2. Inaccurate toe adjustment can also lead to uneven wear. Toe refers to the slight inward tilt angle of the front wheels, similar to pigeon-toed, which is the optimal angle for high-speed stable driving. All vehicles have a toe angle, and if this angle is not properly adjusted, it can cause uneven wear, similar to the first reason. 3. An uneven or deformed chassis frame can also result in uneven wear. For example, some accident vehicles experience uneven wear due to chassis or body deformation.
