  • 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 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.

    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.

    I liked your video and it was very informative.However,I still have a question in mind.If my car was aligned 2 yrs ago and tires were at 35psi pressure then.what happened if I changed the tires after 2yrs and set the pressure to 40 psi,and I noticed that the label on the side door specify that a pressure of 33psi is recommended.what kind of wear do I expect?I have been hitting a lot of potholes on highway recently and noticed that my front tires are only losing tread on the inside only the part that is close to the engine.I thought about adjusting this negative camber but somebody told me that a toed-in wheel can also cause this kind of tread wear.What I did was to deflate all tires to 35psi and i am watching to see if this will remedy the situation.but the tread on one side are almost gone now and it hasnt been 3 months yet.so what is ur opinion about the cause

    • @AlexTheCarDoctor
      @AlexTheCarDoctor  2 роки тому +1

      I will have someone check out the front end for play you most likely have a worn suspension component that the alignment shop missed or worn out after they did the alignment.tire pressure in that small increments will not affect anything from my experience

My front left tyre worn out from outside completely even after wheel alignment, and two tyres were damaged over a period of time. So just days back i purchased two new tyres and did wheel alignment but my left front tyre is showing signs of wearing out from outside again. What could be the possible reason? Thank you.

    • @AlexTheCarDoctor
      @AlexTheCarDoctor  Рік тому

      Hey there someone is not doing the proper checks on your suspension. something is worn out that the alignment shop is missing, I see this all the time they will just do the alignment and line up a car with loose suspension components once the car goes down the road it throws back out of alignment due to loose components or damaged compartments.I have a video coming out soon showing how to check suspension components,I may have an old video showing but I can’t remember

    I'm considering buying a car that has been in an accident but has been repaired, and the nearside tyre has excessive wear. Possibly either of these 5, if the vehicle does have a bent chassis or frame, or if the vehicle has damaged or bent suspension components is it expensive to repair? The car is great spec great mileage great price.
