Why Do Front Tires Wear Out Faster Than Rear Tires?
1 Answers
Automobile front tires wear out faster than rear tires due to the driving method and factors causing tire wear. The following are the driving methods of cars and the factors causing automobile tire wear: There are three types of driving methods: Front-wheel drive: Refers to the front wheels acting as the driving wheels to pull the car forward. Rear-wheel drive: Refers to the rear wheels acting as the driving wheels to push the car forward. Four-wheel drive: Primarily rear-wheel drive, which can switch to front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive based on road conditions through the transmission. Factors causing front tires to wear out faster than rear tires: Engine installation position (center of gravity): Front-wheel drive vehicles have more pressure on the front, while rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles have a relatively more centered position, reducing pressure on the front wheels. During braking, the vehicle tilts forward, concentrating weight on the front end and accelerating front tire wear (if the front wheels lock during braking, wear is even faster). Front wheels, being steering wheels, also wear out faster than rear wheels. Incorrect wheel alignment data (front wheel toe-in, front wheel camber, kingpin caster angle, kingpin inclination angle) can also accelerate front tire wear.
