What Causes Tires to Wear Unevenly?

You’ve got to keep your tires in good condition when you’re driving around Raleigh. If you don’t, you’ll have to get them replaced prematurely, which is several hundred dollars you could easily avoid spending. If you’re asking “what causes tires to wear unevenly?”, we’ve got several answers for you. Let Hendrick Chevrolet Southpoint tell you all about tire tread wear, our specialized parts center, and point you to our tire finder tool to get the right tires on your car no matter the season.

Why Keep Tabs On Your Tires?

The treads of your tire are essential in keeping a proper amount of grip on the road surface. When your tires wear down unevenly, less of the surface of the tire can keep its grip on the road and give you the proper traction. When roads get wet, slick, or unstable, you might run into a serious accident on Cary roads if your tire’s treads are worn down unevenly. As a result, it’s a necessity that you keep a proper watch on your tire tread wear.

Causes of Uneven Tire Tread Wear

If your tires are wearing down unevenly, there are typically two things to blame, either misalignment or an issue with tire inflation.

  • Misaligned wheels happen all the time and can be caused by potholes or running over a curb. If your tires are misaligned, this may cause further damage to your car’s other systems if you don’t take care of the problem early. If your car needs wheel balancing or wheel alignment, you can schedule service with us and we’ll help you get your car back in peak condition.
  • If your tires aren’t inflated correctly, you won’t have the right distribution of weight across them. This can cause your tire tread wear to manifest unevenly. When you have too much or too little air in your tires, you might run into a real headache if your tires blow out on a busy Chapel Hill road. Check your tire pressure regularly and if your ride feels unsteady, it might be time to come into the Hendrick Chevrolet Southpoint service center.
