B/c when you brake, the tire will have to push against the road surface, when you accelerate, the tire will have to push against the road surface, when you corner, the tire has to push against the road surface.
And every time the tire is forced agaist the road surface, a tiny, tiny bit of it is ripped loose, and eventually the tire wears out.
Why? To even out tire wear. The front tires will wear much quicker than the rears on a FWD vehicle. The front tires are pulling the vehicle and are also steering the vehicle. This causes friction which causes wear. You rotate by simply putting the rear tires on the front and the front tires on the rear every 10,000 miles. Click the link and go to Tire Rotation.
Only on a front wheel drive vehicle. On a rear wheel drive the rear tires wear faster. rotate your tires every 10,000 miles and they will wear evenly.
Your tires will wear and possibly your vehicle could shimmy
you do not have to align your vehicle to balance the tires BUT a balanced tire will still wear if the alignment is not correct
No but, it will greatly affect the handling and cornering of the vehicle.
Tires don't wear out fast unless they are either cheap tires OR the vehicle has alignment or suspension issues.
Multiple reasons. 1) If your tires are not balanced, the tires can shake your car and cause damage to the vehicle. 2) If you don't rotate your tires, UN-even wear on the treads can "pull" your vehicle to one side. Which can also cause damage to the vehicle and tires. 3) Under inflated tires can also put drag on a vehicle, causing damage to the vehicle and tires. All these reason can also affect your fuel economy as well.
Using different size tires on the front and back of a vehicle can lead to uneven wear on the tires, affecting the vehicle's handling and stability. This can result in decreased traction, increased risk of accidents, and potential damage to the vehicle's suspension system. It is important to use matching tires to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Check the tread wear and pattern of wear on your tires. Worn tires can cause moderate to serious handling problems, gaining at different speeds of the vehicle. Also, uneven wear with shocks and struts can affect your handlin, in turn, wearing your tires as well.
Tires are a wear item just as brakes are. They will wear from friction. Properly inflated they should wear evenly. PSI inflation should be checked regularly. If they are not wearing evenly the vehicle may need an alignment.
If a vehicle is equipped with radial tires, all tires should be mounted on the same vehicle to ensure optimal performance and handling. Mixing radial tires with bias-ply tires can lead to uneven wear, reduced traction, and compromised stability. It's essential to maintain consistent tire types across all wheels for safety and driving efficiency. Always consult the vehicle's owner manual for specific tire recommendations.
A vehicle with 28 tires would need 7 tires.
