Best Answer

Running the tires low of air pressure or too much air pressure. Suspension out of alignment. Hard fast driving with sudden stops, hard acceleration, and driving on a curvy road at a high rate of speed.

What is The single greatest cause of tire damage?

Tire wear is the most common "damage". The most common cause is use, but the greatest cause of tire wear is an improperly aligned vehicle. This is known as excessive tire wear. Excessive tire wear is wear that is in excess of what would be expected for the actual miles of use. Another cause of excessive tire wear (even on a properly aligned vehicle) is improper tire inflation. Over inflated tires cause the tire to wear in the center of the tread and under inflated tires will wear the outer portion of the tread. To focus more on damage as a single incident verses wear as an ongoing process. Severe impacts such as hitting a curb or a large pothole would top the list. The lower a tires aspect ratio the greater the potential for damage from this type of impact. The question needs clarification.
