The Most Common Reasons for Uneven Tire Wear!

The Most Common Reasons for Uneven Tire Wear:

Uneven tire wear is an costly problem. This is the primary reason people impulsively replace a tire on their car or truck. Irregular tire wear can be caused by a number of issues.

 Incorrect inflation (outer edge wear equals low tire pressure) 

Alignment issues 

Vehicle over-loading 

Worn shocks or struts 

Tire wear on an inner or outer edge only, shows a problem with vehicle camber. 

Feathering, or patchy tread wear indicates tire scrubbing indicating the need for toe adjustment. 

Cupping, or unevenness in tread indicates worn shocks or struts.

It is important to identify these issues before they become a problem with your tire wear. By the time you notice the tire wear issues, there is a good chance you may have bent or worn equipment, have to replace a tire or two and could have smaller components vibrating loose. By utilizing a classic or pro QuickTrick™ Alignment Product with a 4-6 week maintenance plan, you can make sure your measurements are consistent and know immediately when they are off.. BEFORE you have tire wear issues.

 Have a great week!!
