The tread on your tires plays a critical role in keeping you safe on the Omaha streets. Without healthy tread, you may begin to feel yourself slipping and sliding as you drive through Beatrice. So, what causes tires to wear unevenly? While uneven tire wear can be caused by a number of different factors, being able to recognize when your tires are out of whack is crucial. Below, we’ll discuss the importance of monitoring your tire tread wear and offer a number of service tips to keep your vehicle in great shape.
As mentioned above, tire tread is necessary for your tires to grip the road. Whether you’re dealing with snowy roadways or rainy backroads, having maximum grip is important for safe travels. Once your tire tread wear reaches a point where it becomes shallow or uneven, you may begin to notice steering issues. If you’ve inspected your tires and noticed that the tread wear looks strange, you may have a few issues to deal with. Here are two of the most common causes of uneven tire tread wear and how to avoid them:
Proper tire inflation ensures that your vehicle will be able to accelerate, brake, and turn at the appropriate times. When tire pressure is too low or too high, your whole vehicle has to work harder to meet the performance levels you expect. This means additional strain on your drivetrain and uneven tire wear.
Monitoring your tire pressure is the best way to ensure that you’ve got the right amount of air in each tire. Your TPMS should alert you if one or more of your tires is too low on air, but it’s never a bad idea to perform a spot check with a tire gauge from time to time. If you’re unsure how much air should be in your tires, check your owner’s manual or the tire information listed on the driver’s side door jamb.
If you notice strange tire wear patterns after hitting a bump, pothole, or curb, there’s a good chance your tires are misaligned. When your tires are out of alignment, your steering and suspension components strain to keep up.
When your tires are properly aligned, all of the angles are correct. This means that your tires will make maximum contact with the road at all times. This promotes both safety and even tire wear over time.
