Normally caused by an alignment problem. Have the vehicle aligned properly at a trusted tire shop. Can also be caused by incorrect air pressure in the tires. Inflate to manufactures recommended pressure and not the pressure listed on the tire sidewall which is the maximum pressure the tire can safely handle.

How do you write an example of how friction can help and affect something?

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.

Do doing donuts in the snow ruin your tires or anything on the vehicle and a what an honest answer?

It may not ruin your tires, but it will cause premature wear and can cause stress if you impact anything (including ice chunks, curbs, etc) while doing doughnuts and may cause a blowout. The tires typically get heated beyond normal operating temperatures while doing things of this nature and that can contribute to premature wear and stress-related damages. It also causes excessive stress on the transmission and drive axles on the vehicle.


Why does steering wheel wobble not car but steering wheel when wheels are straight?

The steering joints and connections are worn and need replacing Actually, the most likely problem is the tires. They may just need balancing. Sometimes the belts in the tires separate which causes a wobble. high/low spots in tires also causes a wobble. A bent rim can cause a wobble. Excessive negative caster will cause a wobble (alignment issue). Steering joints (inner and outer tie rods will not cause a wobble)


Would needing the tires rotated cause your car to shake at high speeds?
