OK Doc, quick question for you. You left out. Why is it unsafe to rotate tires from left side to right side? Any one please leave me the best guess they have please- I am just not sure if I believe the guy who told me. (A MASTER MECANIC) HE THOUGHT I SCREWED HIS WIFE . SO I DONT BELEAVE HIM.
Hey buddy it’s nothing unsafe about that unless you have directional tires then you can’t rotate left to right.you will know if they are directional tires if they have an arrow on the side wall
That's exactly what's wrong with my car then I have bad shocks because that is exactly what my tire looks like it's wavy like a mountain I had to look this up because I have never seen anything like this
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 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 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
Hi, I got hit at side rear wheel, after a month I notice my both front wheel get bald outside. Does it get effected by hitting the rear wheel?please and thank you
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.
So the thing is, my bikes front tyre has uneven wearing to one side completely worn off, and while riding if we release our hands it kinda goes onto one side like it wont go straight even with new tyres on ,why is that?? Is that allignment issue??
This was a funny and very informative video on what to look for to help you diagnose what's going on with your vehicle. Keep up the good work! God bless you.
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.
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
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
Is good to know all this and more, but I have seen this: No matter what you will need to buy new tires every 3 or 4 years, Alignment is wasting money unless you replace a critical part in your car, but even so I replace Struts, lower arm control with a new ball joint, sway bar link and new cv axles without alignment and was fine, perfectly fine. --- Rotate your tire together with the oil change if you do it every 5 K miles. If you do it every 3 k miles, then rotate every 6K miles and your tire will last the time until replacement of course keep the PSI correct and be happy. All these videos is to scare you, that's it. --- My last tires got 85K miles just rotating and keep PSI 33,and still was good.
I think 2013 GMC Acadia has an electrical problem. New battery, good alternator, good starter and new thermostat and still will not start or turn over. Turn the key on and dash goes black. Acadia ran hot and shut off! Replaced thermostat and battery and still won’t start.
2.5 years of owning a used car, since the second day i couldnt find why my car is shaking. Changed the tyres and took to the mechanic for inspection twice year after year mechanic said everything is fine. The second year when i took the only thing mechanic said was just the front tyre is choppy and rest of the components are fine. After looking my tyres and found myself that 1 year/ 20000km tyres threads are very much left but upon closer look the threads are wavy similar to the video. But still When i checked the suspension it looked fine with no fluid leakage. Can anyone suggest me if it could be a suspension?
Hi, I have a 2023 ram 3500 dully and Im usually pulling a trailer with35k pounds more or less and my front left tire is wearing from inside and outside, the middle of the tire is practically new , I have never seen something like this before, all bushing on the rods and shocks are good , what do you think could be . Nobody can tell me what the problem, probably you can help me . Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much, you must read my mind because I just bought this 2012 QX56 Infiniti and it just felt like something was wrong either with the tire or something on the right hand side because it just kept feeling like it was riding bumpy on that side of the SUV I could feel it even in my steering wheel while I was driving however I did notice that the outside of the tires look to be worn but the inside has plenty tread and even on the top of the tire. thank you so much I can't thank you enough now I know exactly what I need to have replaced I will be watching out for your videos because who knows I may have other problems or issues later but I do appreciate you Thanks again Lavern😅
My Lexus IS250 has a staggered set up. The option of rotation is not there, so do cars like mine run into these problems more than a car you can rotate the tires on? Thanks
Yes I see problems like this all the time with vehicles like yours,I always tell my customers that they wasn’t really meant for daily driving more of a weekend fun car for the twisties
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I don’t daily drive it as I only put 8k miles on it per year. I also am about to put on some nice tires on it. Michelin pilot sport all seasoned tires. I hear those are actually built and designed to last longer on cars like mine.
What would it mean if my front tires are worn due to you saying it was bad shocks but the shocks were new when the tires were replaced but I still have the "cupping"?
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...
Ive had front and rear tire popped on me in 2 Separate time .. just got new tires on a old mitsubishi car,tire were new next day goin home tire goes out goin 60mph luckily im a driver driver other time was 06 honda hybrid back tire goin 60mphplus bothe tire completely trashed blessing 🙌
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?
1 tyre care, needs rotation, tyre under inflation, tyre over inflation 2 loose or broken suspension component. 3 suspension: uneven tyre surface 4 Wheel alignment 5 Accidents
@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?
I’m glad that got cleared up. I was thinking of the month of may, and couldn’t figure the meaning of the pop. I didn’t think i was stupid, but now I’m pessimistic ✈️ 👨
Hie Alex I have a Toyota Noah 2011 version. I have a problem with Rear tyres finishing inside. I had to deal with buying bushes and replaced but I keep on with the same problem. I was told by one exprt that my axle is bent I bought a second hand and replaced . Tye problem still is not solved. Tell me what should I do . Thank you, Yours Ole
Hello there I’m not to familiar with that van but I still may be able to help first off how long have you had the van and what do you use the van for hauling people hauling very heavy items etc.
Great vidoe men, im having issue the tyre is outside wear.. not much.. and when i full turn to the right.. the stabilizer link hit the car rim a bit.. the car had accident before.. it iz permenant.. and cant be change?im puzzle men
Appreciate the video... Very informative. I need a right front shock. I'll do both, but it's the one that must be out because my RF tire is cupping. Lol
Hello Alex. Thanks for the much needed informative video. I have a question regarding my toyota car. 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.
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 did an alignment and rotation two months ago, but I notice the inside of my front tires are getting eaten more than any other part. Could that mean I didn't get a good alignment job done? I also lowered the car 1.2 inches. Could that be the issue?
Hey there that should not matter I have a feeling they did not do a good job,you may also have loose or damaged suspension components,the shop suppose to check that before performing the alignment
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.
Hey buddy. I don’t recommend buying cars that has been in a bad accident frame/chassis work can be expensive also some accident cars comes with weird problems sometimes like electrical and the resale value is affected hope this information helps
I bought some rims and it came with some decent tires but 2 of the tires are bald on the outer part .. can I mount them and use them like that or should I buy new tires
I don’t recommend using any type of bald tires. You can find tires really cheap on eBay quality new and used tires, then take them to your local tire shop
WoW such a great explanation, I really like your honest approach to the explanations. Please keep creating such wonderful videos. Really helpful. Thank you. Peace from Sydney Australia
very good tips Alex but I have a problem that's not in your video, one of our car, 2011 Camry has problem with its tire that worn out so fast (evenly). First, we thought we bought bad tires or our son drive badly but now we drive this Camry our self and we have to replace tires new every year, after about 25,000 miles, even Costco refused to honor their warranty, they said some thing wrong with the car, any Idea what's wrong without taking the car apart to look inside, Alex??
Hey there. What is the history of the car like accident,clean title or rebuilt title, what suspension work have you had done recently,things like that will help me determine what’s going on
thnx for your reply any we bought this car new, we had this problem the 1st year and as mentioned earlier, we thought because the way our son drove. the suspension (front) are new, we replaced them after being recommended by Costco. The back are original.
@@Ankorthmey wow original owner okay. I would love to see this car for myself I’m pretty sure you don’t stay in my city though right now I’m thinking factory defect in the body structure, you say it’s been doing this since day one off the showroom floor correct
Well I know if it’s wearing in the middle it may be over inflated,it’s not too much to align back there it’s a solid axle so I’m not too sure why I would be wearing on the inside unless you have a bent axle which it’s rare unless you’ve been in an accident
I learned a lot from this video Recently I had been going through a problem with the company that had bought four new tires. The tires all have the same name brand on them. But I didn't have enough money left to buy the warranty for them. Being new I didn't think that there would be a problem with them. Putting my trust in the company and product. After about 17 months, I noticed a little wobble coming from the rear of the car..But it wouldn't happen all the time. So I kinda brushed it aside. And then the tpms that is built into the car showed me that the air pressure was low and I should have it checked. Now this is about 2 weeks after I had noticed the problem. But still less than 18 months since I purchased the tires. I took it back to the company to check on the tire. They took 3 hours to tell me that I didn't have any warranty on the tires and it looks like I have ran over a rock. Which caused the damage. They never even took the time to take the tire off. But made like the car wasn't in good condition. Like pointing out air filters that were dirty and wipers in poor condition. Remember now,I just wanted them to check the one tire. Long story cut short, I did a little research on how to find out the age of the tires. Out of 4 tires bought in 2023. 2 of the 4 were exactly alike, 1 was 6 months older than those. But the one with the problem, was early 2021 model...now it is the latter part of 2024. The tires only have gone 17,000 miles and 18 months. The one thing I have found is that there are stress cracks that go around the entire tire and a bubble. I am not a expert, but would a rock really do that much damage to a tire 😊? Also noticed that I see metal wires poking outside of the tire. I don't know what to do because, I think that this tire might have been a defective product. Any idea on how I should go about settling this problem with the company. Cause I paid almost 200 dollars for each of these items. And didn't even get half of the lifetime expectancy or the minimum miles yet. And they want me to buy another one. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD-BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU

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.
Is good to know all this and more, but I have seen this: No matter what you will need to buy new tires every 3 or 4 years, Alignment is wasting money unless you replace a critical part in your car, but even so I replace Struts, lower arm control with a new ball joint, sway bar link and new cv axles without alignment and was fine, perfectly fine.
--- Rotate your tire together with the oil change if you do it every 5 K miles. If you do it every 3 k miles, then rotate every 6K miles and your tire will last the time until replacement of course keep the PSI correct and be happy. All these videos is to scare you, that's it.

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.
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 did an alignment and rotation two months ago, but I notice the inside of my front tires are getting eaten more than any other part. Could that mean I didn't get a good alignment job done? I also lowered the car 1.2 inches. Could that be the issue?
Hey there that should not matter I have a feeling they did not do a good job,you may also have loose or damaged suspension components,the shop suppose to check that before performing the alignment
Couldn't the wavy tire be caused by improper balancing as well?
It’s s possible but I haven’t seen that yet and personally I drove around with unbalanced tires for a good little minute back in the day
Hi Alex. If i lower my car 1.2" inches, will it cause the inside of the tire to wear out?
Just about any time can you touch a suspension component alignment is needed that includes lower a vehicle
Great presentation and information!! THX!
It's called toe-in / toe-out when the tires "snow shoveling" or positive / negative camber when the tires lean in or out.
That’s correct you got it buddy. Thanks for watching
If the tires are balanced properly then they shouldn't need to be rotated
Why would only one tire wear out on a 20 hr drive straight drive

Just had a blow out tire is wearing on the inside to the radial
Cool teacher vibes nice video
very good tips Alex but I have a problem that's not in your video, one of our car, 2011 Camry has problem with its tire that worn out so fast (evenly). First, we thought we bought bad tires or our son drive badly but now we drive this Camry our self and we have to replace tires new every year, after about 25,000 miles, even Costco refused to honor their warranty, they said some thing wrong with the car, any Idea what's wrong without taking the car apart to look inside, Alex??
Hey there. What is the history of the car like accident,clean title or rebuilt title, what suspension work have you had done recently,things like that will help me determine what’s going on
thnx for your reply any we bought this car new, we had this problem the 1st year and as mentioned earlier, we thought because the way our son drove. the suspension (front) are new, we replaced them after being recommended by Costco. The back are original.
@@Ankorthmey wow original owner okay. I would love to see this car for myself I’m pretty sure you don’t stay in my city though right now I’m thinking factory defect in the body structure, you say it’s been doing this since day one off the showroom floor correct
Awesome video thank you so much from California

Thank you Alex, I am Hispanic mom , but my daughter car has that issue, with the one of the tires😢.
You are welcome! Hope this video could help you guys.
My Ford F-150 back tire is wearing on the inside what would make do that an a little in the middle of the tire
Well I know if it’s wearing in the middle it may be over inflated,it’s not too much to align back there it’s a solid axle so I’m not too sure why I would be wearing on the inside unless you have a bent axle which it’s rare unless you’ve been in an accident
@@AlexTheCarDoctor nope hasn’t been far as I no thanks for getting back to me
@@AlexTheCarDoctor one day it was really hot the roader.
Then I was told it could be the wheel barring
Thanks

I learned a lot from this video
Recently I had been going through a problem with the company that had bought four new tires. The tires all have the same name brand on them.
But I didn't have enough money left to buy the warranty for them. Being new I didn't think that there would be a problem with them.
Putting my trust in the company and product. After about 17 months, I noticed a little wobble coming from the rear of the car..But it wouldn't happen all the time. So I kinda brushed it aside. And then the tpms that is built into the car showed me that the air pressure was low and I should have it checked. Now this is about 2 weeks after I had noticed the problem. But still less than 18 months since I purchased the tires. I took it back to the company to check on the tire. They took 3 hours to tell me that I didn't have any warranty on the tires and it looks like I have ran over a rock. Which caused the damage.
They never even took the time to take the tire off.
But made like the car wasn't in good condition. Like pointing out air filters that were dirty and wipers in poor condition. Remember now,I just wanted them to check the one tire.
Long story cut short, I did a little research on how to find out the age of the tires. Out of 4 tires bought in 2023. 2 of the 4 were exactly alike, 1 was 6 months older than those. But the one with the problem, was early 2021 model...now it is the latter part of 2024.
The tires only have gone 17,000 miles and 18 months. The one thing I have found is that there are stress cracks that go around the entire tire and a bubble. I am not a expert, but would a rock really do that much damage to a tire 😊?
Also noticed that I see metal wires poking outside of the tire. I don't know what to do because, I think that this tire might have been a defective product. Any idea on how I should go about settling this problem with the company.
Cause I paid almost 200 dollars for each of these items. And didn't even get half of the lifetime expectancy or the minimum miles yet. And they want me to buy another one. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD-BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANK YOU
