What Causes Tires to Wear Unevenly? 

Uneven tire tread wear can cause misalignment, impact gas mileage, and other issues. That’s why you should know what causes tires to wear unevenly if you want your drives in Orange, MA to go smoothly. Driving conditions, driving habits, extreme weather, and other factors cause uneven tire wear. But you can prevent uneven wear with the proper preventative maintenance! Find out more below from Sonia’s CDJR.

Why Tire Tread Wear Matters

While you drive, your tire treads grip the road, allowing you as much control over your car as possible. If you’re going off the road or there is some inclement weather in your area, the surface of your tires needs as much contact with the road as possible. But if your tire tread wears unevenly, portions of the tire will lose contact with the road, making it difficult to properly control your vehicle. If you keep up with tire rotation, it will allow your tires to wear evenly. Still, they can still wear unevenly due to other reasons. Learn about the two primary causes of premature wear and what you can do to avoid both in the following section. 

Uneven Tire Tread Wear Causes 

Improper Inflation

When your tires are properly inflated, all of the major moving operations of your car happen seamlessly. Turning, weight distribution, braking, and other tasks take place without much effort, but if over or underinflation happens and the tire tread wears unevenly, you’ll notice that your vehicle feels unstable. Over time, the treads wear even faster, and before you know it, you’ve got one portion with a bald patch and the other with decent treads. You’ll want to check on your tire’s inflation level, especially when the temperatures are extremely hot or cold. Need to add more air? Learn how to easily with this guide. 

Misalignment

Having your vehicle aligned is part of normal maintenance, but if it’s overlooked, you can be in deep trouble. When your tires aren’t aligned, you’ll find that steering, bearings, and joints can weaken, causing major problems in the future. You’ll face upfront issues like uneven tire tread wear and possible blowouts. Hitting potholes, curbs, and other significant impacts will throw your vehicle out of alignment. You can avoid these issues when you have your vehicle serviced and aligned regularly.
