Why Does the Car Feel Bumpy After Changing Tires?
1 Answers
There are two main reasons why a car may feel bumpy after changing tires. Here are the details: 1. Only replacing tires on one side can result in different grip levels between the left and right tires, causing instability. When changing tires, it is generally recommended to ensure that the tires on both sides have similar wear levels and tread patterns. 2. Incorrect alignment of the red and yellow dots on the tire, disrupting the balance. When the valve stem is not aligned with the yellow dot, the entire tire's force distribution may become unbalanced, making the car feel uncomfortable to drive and increasing the risk of a blowout. This issue can accelerate tire wear. Therefore, when changing tires, the valve stem must be aligned with the yellow dot.
