Tire wear bars?
When the tire tread wears down to the wear bars, the tires are ready for replacement.
Should you replace a tire that has a flat spot but still has a lot of tread?
YES you will, the tire will cotinue to wear out of round and cause the vehical to vibrate or shake. Replace ASAP Answer #2 Good answer. It could possibly be a bad belt which can cause all kind of unsafe problems.
How do you improve tire grip?
you want your tires to have the normal air pressure. underinflate tire means wear easily and doesnt have much grip. overflate tire means more grip but less wear.
How do you get your tire treads to wear more evenly?
Several items will help with tire wear: *Insure that they are properly inflated according to manufacturer's instructions *Make sure the wheels are aligned *Rotate the tires on a regular basis *Drive with smooth acceleration and stopping. Take turns at a reasonable and safe speed. Squealing and skidding the tires will have an affect on tire wear.
Why does only 1 tire on your grand am spin when its in gear?
This is normal. Most vehicles employ a 'limited slip' or similar type differential which prevents both tires on an axle from getting power from the transmission. This is to prevent massive tire wear from turning corners. If both tires were getting power and locked in to the same speed turning a corner, then the tire on the outside of the curve would have to drag along the pavement (causing the major wear and possibly loss or impairment of control). Allowing one of the wheels to turn freely (usually the wheel on the outside of the curve) prevents the tire dragging.
Which alignment angle is most likely to cause the most tire wear?
Toe
Which suspension problems is most likely to be the cause of tire wear?
Tie rods of incorrect length
Will incorrect tire inflation cause tire wear?
Yes. Low pressure will cause edge wear. Over inflation will cause center wear.
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.
What is the most common cause of tire blowouts?
Probably road hazards, sharp objects that damage the tires
Excessive or uneven tire wear is caused by?
The most common cause of uneven tire wear is a wheel alignment problem. The fix could be as simple as getting the car realigned or it may involve replacing steering/suspension components prior to performing an alignment. Tire pressure is also a common cause of tire wear. If the air pressure is too high inside the tire then the tire tread will wear more in the center. If the air pressure is too low the tread will wear more on the outside edges. Aggressive breaking/acceleration can also be a cause of tire wear problems.
Which alignment Angle affect inner tire wear?
Camber and toe can both cause inner tire wear.
What causes your bicycle tire to wear down?
Extreme braking and low inflation cause wear on a bike tire.
What suspension problems cause tire wear?
Bad shocks, worn ball joints, worn tie rod ends - all cause tire wear.
Can faulty bushings cause tire wear?
Yes.
Would bad tire rods cause tire wear?
Yes bad tie rods can cause tire wear. It is advisable that your vehicle's steering and suspension systems are checked regularly, at least once a year along with a complete wheel alignment. A worn tie rod can cause wandering, erratic steering and also major tire wear.
What causes inside tire wear on a 1991 Ford F-250?
Most Likely the ball joints. On my 3rd set in my 99'
