It May Be Time For New Tires

The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) reports that the items listed below may cause abnormal tire wear:
  • Vehicle Wheel Alignment: If wheels are not properly aligned, tires will experience stresses as if they were constantly cornering. This can cause increased tread wear.
  • Wheels: Damaged wheels can cause a tire to scrub unevenly on the road. The damage to the wheel may not be visually obvious.
  • Brakes: If not in good repair, brakes can grab unevenly, causing more stress on one tire. If brakes do not work smoothly, the pulsing could affect tire wear.
  • Shock Absorbers: A worn shock will not damp out vibrations at highway speeds, leading to uneven wear.
  • Ball Joints: Worn ball joints become loose and can cause uneven wear.
  • Suspension and Steering Systems: Excessive wear and looseness anywhere in the suspension and steering systems can cause tire and wheel assemblies to move in ways in which they were not designed to move.
  • Tire and Wheel Assembly Balance: If a tire and wheel assembly are out of balance, the pounding can cause uneven tread wear.
  • Improper Tire Inflation: Underinflation or overinflation will cause uneven tread wear patterns. Tire pressures are listed on the vehicle's placard or certification label.
