Why Tires Wear Unevenly ( Top 5 Reasons)

Tires in my opinion are one of the most important things on a car. Often times, people treat tires as a set it and forget it type of thing, which shouldn't be the case. Tires need care and attention just like any other part on your vehicle.
Have you noticed your tires wearing unevenly? Are they slick on one side but not the other? Your tires could be indicating that you have a deeper problem. In this video, I explain the top 5 reasons your tire could be wearing unevenly. I'll show you different wear patterns and what causes each one.

I am not smart when comes to tire problems and such but your video gave some insight of what could be going on with my truck tires. Time to take a look at the underside and see what it could be. Thanks for the useful tips.

Thanks for the support it means a lot to me. I will not stop I have so much to share

[@ZERONEINNOVATIONS]

I bought new tires for my Crown Victoria. but front tires only lasted for 6 months, because my alignment is messed up. Make sure to check the alignment when you decide to invest on tires for old or high mileage used car.

[@D4x4Bronc]

Probably need new ball joints and tie rods. And shocks Gabriel ultras for cheap, kyb for OEM and bilsteins.

Thx man, I have been trying to explain this for years and everyone thinks I am dumb, but tires do tell all, and thx again I subscribe to your channel,

[@hiram2005]

Thanks for making this video! Simple explanations yet very informative. I just took my 2011 F-150 to get tires rotated and they mentioned the front tires were cupping, and you can see it like mountains and starting to make noise. They recommended me to check the shocks checked. After watching this video, I am confident that’s what’s it’s going to be 👍🏻

[@budeugene5301]

My ford f 150 tire in the back is wearing on the in side would that be the shock

[@Tizzypj]

@@budeugene5301 possibly mate that’ll be camber issue your having which could lead to a bad shock but I feel the spring/ rear suspension setup is too far negative

[@lakeithwashum6497]

My ford f150 done the same thing front tires bald on inside.

[@ftlbaby]

Thanks for this! I think my tires may be slightly under inflated because there is sone extra wear on the outside. I also think my shocks or springs are needing replacement because the car bounces around a bit whenever I go over rough roads. The question that I have not found the answer to is this: do front or rear tires wear faster on a FWD vehicle? I have a Lexus RX330. I rotate the tires every 5000 miles with the oil change. My front tires are at about 7/32 and my rear tires are at 5/32.

[@josephbowman87]

I appreciate you and your knowledge, even tire techs while working with them didnt teach me this... We only busted tires and attached wheel weights to balance and let the customer drive away, not knowing for the proper education of why the vehicle is driving the way it does...

It sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing.I Would recommend a full front end Inspection on a shop lift

Thanks buddy

[@SuperRed.V4]

My tire have the symptoms exactly the same as your “shocks” section - wavy inner wear, sounds like bad wheel bearing. But I just changed to a BC Racing coilover. What might be the issue with the setup? Too firm or too soft that caused this waviness?

[@ConsolingYourMind]

@alexthecardoctor. So if i have lower control arms that needs to be replaced. And its wearing the inside and outside thread. after replacing the control arms i need to re-align and balance the tires ya? And also maybe rotate them?

[@ericjones363]

I have a van too. Was your steering wheel shaking when you had bad tires?

Tire noise and bearing noise can easily be confused. I can hear the noise on the road, but there is no noise when the tire is lifted.

You seem like a swell guy man 👍
