What Causes Uneven Tire Wear?

Uneven tire wear is one of the most common warning signs of alignment or suspension problems. In Winnipeg, rough roads, potholes, winter conditions, and curb impacts can all affect how your tires contact the road surface.

When tires wear unevenly, your vehicle may become harder to control safely and your tires may need replacement much sooner than expected.

Some common causes of uneven tire wear include:

• Wheel alignment problems  
• Worn suspension components  
• Incorrect tire pressure  
• Damaged steering components  
• Lack of tire rotation  
• Road impacts and potholes

Many drivers first notice uneven wear when one side of the tire becomes more worn than the other or when the vehicle begins pulling slightly while driving.

Ignoring tire wear problems can reduce traction, affect braking performance, increase fuel consumption, and shorten tire lifespan.
