What Causes Tires to Wear Unevenly?

These are commercial truck tires
 

Uneven tire tread wear can cause misalignment, impact gas mileage, and other performance issues that you don’t want during your commutes in Fayetteville. However, you can prevent these issues when you know about the causes, which may include the driving conditions in Springdale, your driving habits, and extreme weather. Learn more from the service team at Superior Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Of Northwest Arkansas below.

 

 

Why Tire Tread Wear Matters

While you drive, your tire treads grip the road, giving you control over your vehicle. When you encounter offroading conditions or inclement weather, the surface of your tires needs as much contact with the road as possible. However, when your tire tread wears unevenly, portions lose contact with the road, and you lose traction, making it difficult to properly control your vehicle. You want to avoid that in Springdale! Plus, that can lead to premature wear, which isn’t ideal either. Find out two primary causes below. 

Uneven Tire Tread Wear from Improper Inflation

When your tires are properly inflated, all of the major moving operations of your vehicle happen seamlessly. Turning, weight distribution, braking, and other tasks take place without much effort because your car rides smoothly on the road. However, when over or underinflation happens and tire tread wears unevenly, you’ll notice that your vehicle feels unstable. 

The simple tasks are now more difficult as your car faces pushback and loss of traction. As time continues, 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. Keep a proper check on your tire’s inflation level, being especially mindful when the temperatures are extremely hot or cold. 

Misalignment

Having your vehicle aligned is part of routine maintenance that can cause significant challenges when overlooked. When your tires aren’t aligned, steering, bearings, and joints can weaken, causing major problems down the road. However, short-term issues include uneven tire tread wear and possible blowouts. Hitting potholes, curbs, and other significant impacts will throw your vehicle out of alignment. 

Having your vehicle serviced and aligned regularly will avoid these problems and help you maintain proper control of your vehicle. Our technicians can always provide alignment and other maintenance when needed.
